California has many laws concerning firearms and regulates who can own and operate one legally. Among these: automatic weapons are illegal for all private citizens to own, and convicted felons or mental patients are prohibited from owning a legal firearm.
The penalty depends on the circumstances in the case: the type of weapon used, whether the weapon was loaded or concealed, what crime was committed with the weapon, and the individual’s prior record and drug use. A crime committed with a gun or a firearm will often lead to jail time in county or state prison. And could include expensive fines and permanent marks on your criminal record. Reach out to Jennifer Granger, an experienced criminal defense attorney who has handled all types of Gun Offenses and Firearms cases.
