Four common types of weapons and gun charges include:

  • Unlawful Possession of a Firearm: When purchasing a gun it is important to ensure you fulfill all of the specific requirements for legally purchasing and owning a firearm. Failure to do so could result in being charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. An unlawful possession of a firearm charge may be a misdemeanor or a felony and if convicted could result in a substantial fine and possible prison time. If the individual convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm is a felon, they may be awarded a 3 year minimum sentence regardless if a crime has been committed or not;

  • Illegal Sale of a Weapon: Gun dealers in the State of Ohio are required to adhere to very specific procedures with any sale of a gun or weapon. Failure to follow these procedures can result in the dealer to losing their license to sell guns and weapons. If the unlawful sale of a weapon or firearm is conducted by an unlicensed dealer, they may be charged with a felony criminal charge, depending upon the quantity weapons sold, and how the guns were obtained;

  • Unlawful Discharge of a firearm: When a weapon is discharged in a public setting, the individual who fired the gun may be charged with either a first degree or a more serious felony criminal weapons charges, depending upon the circumstances relating to your arrest, your criminal record, if the weapon was discharged while you were in a vehicle and you were within 1000 feet of anyone, and if the discharge of the weapon occurred in the course of a criminal act;
