Weapons Charges

Our leading Boston criminal defense attorneys know full well that getting convicted of an illegal weapons charge in the state of Massachusetts results in dire consequences.

Massachusetts has very strict weapons laws. These illegal weapons include but are not limited to:

Daggers
Dirk knives
Ballistic knives
Switch knives
Switch blades
Slingshots
Blowguns
Blackjacks
Metallic Knuckles
Nunchakus

The list goes on and on. Weapons charges involving firearms are especially serious. If you are found in possession of an illegal firearm without a license in the state of Massachusetts, you will land yourself in jail for a minimum of 18 months and lose your right to carry a firearm in the future. This is a hefty sentence for anyone, especially if you have work and family obligations.

The law protects its citizens against unlawful seizures of property, including weapons.
