Understanding Gun Possession Charges in Massachusetts
Unlawful gun possession in Massachusetts is a serious offense under M.G.L. Chapter 269, Section 10, which governs the carrying and possession of firearms. Massachusetts has strict gun laws, requiring 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 or government buildings)
🔹 Illegal possession of ammunition or high-capacity magazines
Common defenses include challenging the legality of search and seizure, proving lack of knowledge or control over the firearm, or verifying compliance with licensing requirements. Our Medford criminal defense lawyers carefully analyze these factors to craft a robust defense.
Potential Penalties for Gun Possession in Medford
A conviction for unlawful gun possession in Massachusetts carries severe penalties, 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 include mandatory minimum jail time (e.g., 18 months)
📉 Additional Consequences: Loss of firearm licenses, a criminal record, employment challenges, and restrictions on future gun ownership
