Tempe Weapon Crime Defense Lawyer

Overview of Weapon Crimes

The laws regarding weapons in Arizona have extensive restrictions about the use or possession of all types of weapons, including firearms and knives. If you are found to be in possession of a firearm without a legal permit, you will be facing serious legal repercussions. If a weapon was used in the commission of a crime, the penalties are increased radically. Almost anything can be called a "weapon" under certain circumstances. This can be an issue in domestic violence cases in which it is claimed that a normal household item was used as a weapon to harm or threaten another person. There are a broad range of offenses that involve the use of weapons, and if you have been charged with any weapon offense, it is vital that you get legal representation from a Tempe criminal defense lawyer without delay.
