Serving Clients Throughout West Virginia, Berkeley County & Beyond
One of the greatest things about the United States is the freedom afforded to its citizens, including the right to bear arms. However, there are still restrictions regarding firearms. West Virginia law permits almost anyone, who is not a prohibited person, to possess a firearm in their home or in their vehicle.
However, if a person carries his or her handgun in an unlawful place or if that person is prohibited from carrying a weapon because they are a convicted felony offender, they can be charged with a misdemeanor or felony offense. There are both state and federal gun crimes.
A conviction for a gun crime can have a negative impact on your future. It could result in serious penalties, including a permanent criminal record, steep fines, inability to own or possess a firearm in the future, and jail or prison time.
