Chandler Gun Crimes Lawyers

Arizona gun laws allow any person who is at least 18 years old to open carry, and 21 years old or over to conceal carry a firearm without a permit. Owning a firearm in Chandler comes with a lot of responsibility, and it is up to the gun owner to know what the firearms laws are. It is also their duty as a responsible gun owner to take a firearm training and safety course. If you are carrying a gun, it is not only important to know when to pull out your firearm, but when not to as well. Pulling your firearm out when you are not legally authorized to do so, could mean the difference between freedom, or a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 to 15 years.

In Arizona, almost all gun crimes carry a mandatory prison sentence for those who are found guilty.

Crimes involving firearms bear a higher risk of prison time than many other crimes. This risk is even greater, if the crime is committed by a prohibited possessor of the weapon. Other contributing factors would include a prior felony conviction, or the fact that they are on felony probation for other unrelated crimes. One of the most serious gun crimes in the Arizona criminal code is an aggravated assault charge involving a gun. These gun crimes are generally charged as dangerous and can carry a mandatory prison sentence of between 5 and 15 years for those who are convicted.

Arizona gun crimes include, but are not limited to:

  • Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm
  • Endangerment
  • Aggravated Assault
  • Using a Weapon in a Threatening Manner
  • Displaying a Firearm
  • Felon in Possession of a Firearm
  • Assault with a Deadly Weapon
  • Armed Robbery or Burglary

In addition, the reckless display of a firearm could be enough to warrant serious felony charges involving mandatory prison sentences if convicted. In fact, simply scaring someone with a firearm without legal justification is often charged as an aggravated assault. This is why brandishing a firearm should be reserved for rare occasions, and only if there is an imminent threat of unlawful deadly force.
