Gun Crimes in New York State

There are various potential gun crimes that a person can commit in New York State. At times, it is possible to commit such a crime without even realizing it, which is why it is best to familiarize yourself with New York State’s gun laws. Some of the gun laws in NYS are as follows:

• When someone unlawfully possesses certain ammunition feeding devices, they may face a Class B misdemeanor.
• When someone possesses a large capacity firearm, unlawfully possesses a weapon in the fourth degree, criminally purchases or disposes of a firearm, or causes certain words/burn injuries, he or she may face a Class A misdemeanor.
• Possessing a weapon on school grounds, as well as the criminal possession of a firearm are often considered Class E felonies.
• The criminal possession or sale of a firearm in the third degree is considered a Class D felony.
• The criminal possession, use, or sale of a firearm in the second degree is considered a Class C felony. You may also face a Class C felony for the aggravated criminal possession of a weapon, or for the criminal sale of a firearm to a minor.
• The criminal possession, use, or sale of a firearm in the first degree is treated as a Class B felony in New York State.

Whether you are facing a misdemeanor or felony gun charge, you are most likely looking at high fines, jail time, and additional criminal penalties. Our experienced Nassau County gun crimes lawyer is prepared to fight for your rights, every step of the way.

What You Need to Know About Firearms & Upgraded Charges in NYS

Though most crimes come with serious penalties in New York State, you should understand that when a firearm is involved in the committing of an additional crime, the alleged perpetrator will most likely face upgraded charges. For example, if you allegedly used a firearm when committing an act of assault, you will most likely face an aggravated assault charge, which constitutes additional jail time, higher fines, and more.
