Chandler Prohibited Possession of a Firearm Lawyer

Prohibited Possession of a Firearm is part of the Misconduct Involving Weapons Statute A.R.S. § 13-3102. Under A.R.S. § 13-3102(A)(4), a person commits misconduct involving weapons by knowingly possessing a deadly weapon or prohibited weapon if such person is a prohibited possessor.

What is a deadly weapon?

In Arizona, a deadly weapon is defined in ARS § 13-3101(A)(1) as anything that is designed for lethal use. The term includes a firearm. Under ARS § 13-3101(A)(4), “firearm” is defined as any loaded or unloaded handgun, pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, or other weapons that will expel, is designed to expel, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive. Firearm does not include a firearm in permanently inoperable condition.

What does it mean to possess?

To “possess” is to knowingly have physical possession or otherwise to exercise dominion or control over the property. This means you do not have to have ownership of a firearm to be charged with this crime; you only need to be in possession of a firearm.

Prohibited possession of a firearm is a Class 4 Felony in Arizona and can include a mandatory prison sentence for those who are convicted. This could mean up to 3.75 years of prison time for a first-time conviction.

Sometimes a person may be unaware they are a prohibited possessor. This can happen if someone has been convicted of a domestic violence offense. Under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9), you are prohibited from owning, shipping, transporting, or possessing firearms or ammunition if you have been convicted in any court of a “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.”

Recently, due to certain circumstances with my son, my family had the need to reach out for legal... advice. After meeting with Marc and Brittany, we decided it would be in my son’s best interest to retain legal counsel. Our decision to go with Attorneys for Freedom was the absolute best choice we could have made for my son, as I do not understand the complexity of the law and was not going to “chance” anything when it comes to my son.When there is a situation that is happening and you do not fully understand all the “ins and outs” and possible consequences, it is awesome to have people who take the time, do not make you feel rushed, work diligently on your case, and explain everything to you step-by-step. Attorneys For Freedom, in particular Brittany and Laura are positively the best! I genuinely appreciate everything they did while working on my son’s case.When the time finally came and understanding that I could not stand up beside my son, having Brittany by his side, I had no concerns and felt beyond confident that he was in great hands with her.Brittany and Laura both were amazing! Their communications, making sure that we had what we needed, understood our choices, knew our options and thoroughly went over every aspect of my son’s situation was monumental.Brittany Huttner, Laura, Marc, and the entire staff at Attorneys for Freedom are truly assets to have on your team! If you ever happen to have the need, TRUST that Attorneys for Freedom are the ones you want!Thank you!!!1000% Recommended!!!read more
