Defending Against a Firearm or Gun Violations
Gun charges are aggressively prosecuted and penalized in Pennsylvania — especially if you are charged with using a gun while committing another offense (such as robbery).
From misdemeanors to felonies, there are a range of offenses involving illegal possession, use, distribution or manufacturing of firearms or other weapons. In addition to state-specific regulations, federal gun laws, like those restricting firearm ownership for felons and firearm modifications, also apply in Pennsylvania.
