Chandler Endangerment Defense Lawyer

Endangerment, or A.R.S. § 13-1201, can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony in Arizona. Under A.R.S. § 13-1201,

  1. A person commits endangerment by recklessly endangering another person with a substantial risk of imminent death or physical injury.
  2. Endangerment involving a substantial risk of imminent death is a class 6 felony. In all other cases, it is a class 1 misdemeanor.

ALMOST ALL ARIZONA GUN CRIMES CARRY A MANDATORY PRISON SENTENCE FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOUND GUILTY

Recklessness is defined as: a person is aware of and consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that a certain result will occur or that a certain circumstance exists. The risk must be of such a nature and degree that disregard for such risk constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of conduct that a reasonable person would observe in the situation.

The law is very broad in the area, and you could be charged with endangerment for not only using a firearm but any weapon or dangerous instrument as well. A dangerous instrument could be almost anything, such as a boot or an automobile.

If you discharge a firearm in Arizona, you can be charged with endangerment even if no one was hurt or you had no intent to injure anybody. An example of this would be recklessly firing a gun into the air. Even if the round did not hit anyone, you could still be charged with endangerment.

Misdemeanor endangerment, although not as serious as felony endangerment, is still a serious offense that could result in jail time and fines up to $2,500 if convicted.
Felony endangerment is a more serious crime that could include prison time. Felony endangerment for first-time offenders can include prison time up to 2 years for those convicted.

A small group of us recently signed up for a group membership with Attorneys on Retainer, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. James Belcher was incredibly helpful—he walked us through the process, answered every question, and got us a fantastic group rate. His support made everything smooth and stress-free.

AOR stands out in a big way. As individuals choosing to exercise our Second Amendment rights and look out for one another, it’s crucial to have real legal protection—especially in more tyrannical states like New Jersey. One of the biggest selling points for us was that AOR now includes coverage for red flag laws, which is a huge deal here.

The peace of mind that comes with being able to call an attorney directly, without worrying about exclusions or fine print, is invaluable. AOR doesn’t make you jump through hoops or hope your case is “perfect” enough for coverage. They’re straightforward, committed, and reliable.

If you’re a gun owner—especially in a state where the laws seem designed to trip you up—get this coverage. You won’t find anything else like it.

As a firearms instructor, I can feel confident in recommending my students and community to reach out to James Belcher as a great point of contact to get the professional and friendly service to seek the legal protection needed for the "after self-defense" defense. Thank you James 🫡
