Retain an Experienced Weapons Offense Criminal Defense Attorney
Weapons offenses can result from dangerous or deadly items used in the commission of crime or used in and of themselves to assault or injure another, which is itself a crime.
All firearms are weapons, and some are “regulated.” Based on a person’s history, he/she may be precluded from possessing a regulated firearm and it may not be simply a result of one’s criminal history.
Md. Code Ann., Pub. Safety, § 5-133(b) provides that a person may not possess a regulated firearm is the person:
(6) suffers from a mental disorder as defined in § 10-101(i)(2) of the Health – General Article and has a history of violent behavior against the person or another;
(9) has been voluntarily admitted for more than 30 consecutive days to a facility as defined in § 10-101 of the Health – General Article;
(10) has been involuntarily committed to a facility as defined in § 10-101 of the Health – General Article;
(11) is under the protection of a guardian appointed by a court under § 13-201(c) or § 13-705 of the Estates and Trusts Article, except for cases in which the appointment of a guardian is solely a result of a physical disability;
If convicted of possession of a regulated firearm by a disqualified person certain mandatory penalties apply.
Furthermore, individuals who are convicted of committing a crime involving the use of a firearm may be subject to an additional mandatory minimum sentence in addition to any other penalties already imposed.
