About Gun Crimes in Pennsylvania

The state of Pennsylvania prosecutes gun crimes very harshly. One of the most common offenses is the possession of an illegal offensive weapons or firearm. It is considered a first-degree misdemeanor for an individual to possess, use, sell, or repair a firearm unless they are permitted or licensed to carry one. This offense is punishable by up to $10,000 in fines and 5 years in prison. However, virtually all gun crimes can be elevated in severity if they are committed in conjunction with another crime, such as using a gun in a robbery or carrying a firearm on school property.

Our criminal defense attorneys in Philadelphia can defend you against all types of gun charges, including:

• Use or intended use of a firearm or weapon during criminal activity
• Gun possession of an unlicensed weapon
• Gun possession of an illegal weapon
• Assault with a deadly weapon
• Illegal sale of guns or firearms
• Weapons on school property
