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 possession and carrying. The state's strict gun laws require a valid Firearm Identification (FID) card or License to Carry (LTC). Charges may stem from:
🔹 Carrying a firearm without a license
🔹 Possessing a firearm in restricted areas (e.g., schools, government buildings)
🔹 Illegal possession of ammunition or high-capacity magazines
Effective defenses may include challenging illegal searches, proving lack of knowledge or control over the firearm, or verifying compliance with licensing. Our Malden criminal defense lawyers carefully analyze these factors to build a robust defense.
Potential Penalties for Gun Possession in Malden
A conviction for unlawful gun possession in Massachusetts carries harsh penalties, such as:
⛓️ Up to 7 years in state prison and fines up to $5,000 for unlicensed carrying
🔒 Mandatory minimum sentences (e.g., 18 months for carrying a loaded firearm)
🚫 Loss of firearm licenses, a criminal record, job challenges, and restricted future gun ownership
Our attorneys at the Law Offices of Kensley R. Barrett work tirelessly to reduce or dismiss charges, leveraging defenses like improper police conduct, lack of intent, or valid licensing.
