What are the Penalties for Gun Crimes in Pennsylvania?

The penalties for gun crimes in Pennsylvania are as diverse as the crimes themselves. They range from fines and probation to lengthy prison sentences. The specific consequences depend on the nature and severity of the offense, as well as the defendant's criminal history. Having a skilled attorney from The Nenner Law Firm by your side is essential to help mitigate these potential penalties.

In Philadelphia, some typical penalties for gun crimes may include:

• Misdemeanor Convictions: For less severe gun offenses, a defendant may face misdemeanor charges that can lead to probation, fines, or short jail sentences.
• Felony Convictions: More serious gun crimes can result in felony charges, leading to longer prison sentences, substantial fines, and a felony record that can affect future opportunities.
• Federal Charges: If the gun crime crosses state lines or violates federal laws, you may face federal charges, which often carry harsher penalties.
• Loss of Firearms Rights: A conviction for certain gun crimes may lead to losing your right to possess firearms.
• Enhanced Penalties: In some cases, penalties may be enhanced if the defendant has prior convictions or if the crime is committed in certain circumstances, such as in school zones.

Defenses Against Gun Crime Charges

At The Nenner Law Firm, we understand that facing gun crime charges can be overwhelming. Our experienced Philadelphia gun crimes lawyers are dedicated to exploring all possible defenses to protect your rights. Common defense strategies include:

• Fourth Amendment Violations: We scrutinize the circumstances of your arrest and the search and seizure process to ensure that your rights were not violated.
• Lack of Intent or Knowledge: If you were unaware that the firearm was present or illegal, we may argue that you lacked the requisite intent to commit the crime.
• Self-Defense: In some cases, demonstrating that you used the firearm in self-defense may be a valid defense.
• Invalid Search Warrants: We will assess whether the search warrant used in your case was obtained legally and if the evidence against you was lawfully obtained.
• Illegal Stops: We will investigate if the police had a valid reason to stop and search you, as an unlawful stop may lead to the suppression of evidence.
