Gun Violations in Norfolk
Let Our Attorneys Fight for Your Future
Under the U.S. Constitution, Americans have the right to bear arms. However, Virginia laws outline who can legally own a firearm, and the penalties that can be imposed for gun violations. The type of gun, whether it is alleged to have been used in the commission of a crime, and a range of other factors impact the right to own a gun.

Charged with a Gun Crime?
If you are accused of any weapons offense in Virginia, you may be facing very severe penalties. You may be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony and face spending months or years in prison. If you are accused of carrying a loaded gun in a public area, you will be charged with a class 1 misdemeanor, with a penalty of up to 12 months in jail.
Felony Gun Offenses
If a gun was used in the commission of a crime, whether manslaughter, a “gang crime,” kidnapping, assault, robbery, extortion or threats, or other violent crime, you will be facing felony charges, and if convicted, could spend years in state prison. Once released, you will have a felony on your criminal record, with a lifetime impact on your ability to work and earn a living.
