Weapons Charges
The Best Las Vegas Weapons Charge Attorney
Violating weapons carrying and possession laws in Nevada carries strict penalties. While there is some ambiguity due to some municipalities disavowing the concealed carry permitting in Nevada, Nevada and federal law supersedes those local rulings when it comes to weapons charges. Nevada law states that it is illegal for someone with a felony conviction to be in possession or proximity of a weapon, that you must have a concealed weapons permit to carry certain types and classes of weapons, and that a variety of crimes can worsen or complicate the charges brought against you if a weapon is present during the commission of them. Many people do not realize that casinos are one place you cannot carry in Nevada, and you can be charged if you do not obey casino personnel to leave or disarm immediately when they find you carrying. Any time you face a weapons charge in Nevada, you need a good criminal defense attorney to sort out the circumstances and handle your defense.
