Weapons charges are aggressively pursued by both California and federal law enforcement officials.  Weapons crimes, including international import /export charges for both local and international clients, can result in serious criminal penalties, including large fines and prison terms.

Examples of weapons charges are detailed on the left.

If you were acting in self defense; if you used a fire arm accidentally; if you reasonably believed that the seller of the weapon was a licensed dealer; if the police or federal agents illegally searched you, your business, home, car, truck or plane; if they used lying witnesses or other illegal testimony or evidence against you; or if other extenuating or exculpatory circumstances exist, you may have solid defenses against the weapons charges brought against you.  .  Weapons crimes are often charged as felonies, and can result in heavy fines and substantial terms of incarceration.  Even leaving a firearm accessible to a child below the age of 14 is a felony under California's Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) law.  It is also is a felony to own many different types of firearms in California, such as an AK47 or HK Machine Pistol.  See http://www.ag.ca.gov/firearms/pubfaqs.php.
