I Was Arrested For Carrying A Concealed Firearm In California. What Are My Potential Defenses?

Carrying A Concealed Firearm In California

Prosecution for carrying a concealed firearm in California is serious and can result in misdemeanor or felony charges depending on the situation.  Common defenses include: the fact that you had a valid concealed weapons permit(CCW);  that the firearm was in open view in compliance with California’s “open carry” laws;  that the firearm in your vehicle was unloaded and in the trunk or a locked container in compliance with the law; that you didn’t know that you were “carrying” the firearm (usually best argued in cases where the gun is in a car or luggage and not “on the person”); or that the cops performed an illegal search and the evidence is suppressed by the court.  The facts of every case are different and anyone facing these charges should consult with a qualified Criminal Defense Attorney immediately.
