What Is a Federal Firearm Offense?
There are a few factors that may determine how your case is prosecuted, as well as what additional charges may be brought against you.
You may be facing federal prosecution if you have been charged with:
- Being in possession of a firearm if you are a convicted felon
- Possession of a weapon with the intent to use the weapon to inflict violence
- Possession of a weapon with the intent to use it to sell or traffic drugs
Under federal law, the transportation, purchase, and distribution of firearms are strictly monitored and any illegal activity or alleged illegal activity could leave you facing serious penalties. Convicted firearms offenders may face incarceration, fines, and the loss of the right to bear arms in the future.
