weapons charges are very serious and

unfortunately under weapons charges

there are very few defenses but if you

do have one of these defenses then it’s

very likely your case could get

dismissed one of the the common weapons

charge defenses we see here in the

district because the district is

surrounded by States like Maryland and

Virginia it’s a unique place where many

people from all over the United States

specifically the surrounding areas

Maryland Virginia Pennsylvania are

coming and going from the district

from other jurisdictions that are openly

gun carry states and so one of the

defenses here in the district if you are

charged with the firearm are that you

are properly licensed and registered

with your firearm in another state

whether it’s one of our surrounding

states or another state in the Union and

that you simply just did not know the

laws the gun laws here in Washington D.C

now ignorance of the law is never a

defense however here in DC when you are

facing serious felony firearm charges

not knowing the law but being properly

licensed and registered for your firearm

in another state is a defense that could

help mitigate consequences of a firearm

charge here in Washington DC
