Understanding Gun Possession Charges in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, unlawful gun possession is a serious crime under M.G.L. Chapter 269, Section 10, which governs firearm carrying and possession. The state's strict gun laws require a valid Firearm Identification (FID) card or License to Carry (LTC) for legal possession. You may face charges for:
🔹 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 Lynn criminal defense lawyers carefully analyze these factors to build a robust defense.
Potential Penalties for Gun Possession in Lynn
A conviction for unlawful gun possession in Massachusetts can lead to 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 offenses, like carrying a loaded firearm, may require at least 18 months in jail
🚫 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 Lynn gun possession defense attorneys work tirelessly to reduce or dismiss charges by leveraging defenses like improper police conduct, lack of intent, or valid licensing.
