Legal Scenario: What Would You Do?

Scenario

You were pulled over in East New York after a traffic stop, and police found a licensed handgun in your glove compartment that you legally purchased in Virginia but never registered in New York. You were arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon under New York Penal Law § 265.03.

Can I really face felony charges in Brooklyn for a gun I legally own in another state?

Attorney's Answer

Yes — New York has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, and an out-of-state license or permit carries no legal weight here. Criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree under Penal Law § 265.03 is a Class C violent felony carrying a mandatory minimum of 3.5 years and up to 15 years in state prison. However, a skilled Brooklyn gun crime lawyer may be able to challenge the legality of the traffic stop or the search itself under the Fourth Amendment, potentially getting the weapon suppressed as evidence. We would also explore whether you qualify for a reduced charge under Penal Law § 265.01-b, which was created to address exactly these types of out-of-state possession cases.

This is general information only. Contact us for advice specific to your situation.

• Criminal possession of a weapon
• Possession of a loaded firearm
• Possession of an assault weapon
• Possession of a defaced firearm
• Possession of a firearm on school grounds
• Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
• Possession of a firearm during a drug crime or violent felony
• Illegal sale or purchase of firearms
• Discharging a firearm within city limits

No matter how serious the charges, we explore every possible defense strategy to get you the best outcome. A few common defenses we utilize include:

• Lack of possession (the gun wasn’t actually yours)
• Lawful possession (you had a valid permit/license)
• Constitutional violations (illegal search/seizure, coerced confession)
• Self-defense or defense of others
• Entrapment by law enforcement
• Mistaken identity or lack of evidence
