Understanding Gun Possession Charges in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, unlawful gun possession is a serious offense under M.G.L. Chapter 269, Section 10. The state's strict gun laws require a valid Firearm Identification (FID) card or License to Carry (LTC) for legal possession. Charges may stem from:
🔹 Carrying a firearm without a license
🔹 Possessing a firearm in prohibited areas (e.g., schools, government buildings)
🔹 Illegal possession of ammunition or high-capacity magazines
Effective defenses may include challenging illegal searches and seizures, proving lack of knowledge or control over the firearm, or verifying compliance with licensing requirements. Our experienced Cambridge criminal defense lawyers carefully evaluate these factors to craft a robust defense.
Potential Penalties for Gun Possession in Cambridge
A conviction for unlawful gun possession in Massachusetts carries severe consequences, such as:
⛓️ Unlicensed Carrying of a Firearm: Up to 7 years in state prison and fines up to $5,000
🔒 Mandatory Minimum Sentences: Certain charges, like carrying a loaded firearm, may require mandatory jail time (e.g., 18 months)
📉 Additional Consequences: Loss of firearm licenses, a permanent criminal record, employment challenges, and restrictions on future gun ownership
At the Law Offices of Kensley R. Barrett, our Cambridge gun possession defense attorneys work tirelessly to reduce or dismiss charges by leveraging defenses like improper police conduct, lack of intent, or valid licensing.
