Types of Gun Crime Cases We Handle

Whether you have been charged with a crime related to illegally possessing or carrying a weapon, or have been accused of using a gun to cause violence, Luck Law, LLC, can help. We defend against a variety of gun-related charges, including:

  • Gun possession. Gun possession is common in Alabama, with 55.8% of adults living in a home with at least one firearm. However, there are certain things that would make gun ownership illegal. For example, you may be prohibited from possessing a firearm if you have a violent crime or domestic violence conviction, are unlawfully in the U.S., or have an addiction to alcohol or drugs.
  • Possession of an illegal weapon. Even if you are legally able to possess and carry a weapon, there can be consequences if you have certain types of illegal guns or ammo. For example, Alabama gun crime laws prohibit the possession or sale of brass or steel Teflon-coated handgun ammunition.
  • Violent crime. Using a firearm while committing another felony, such as assault, murder, kidnapping, or robbery, can increase the seriousness of the offense. In 2024, 562 of all 1,212 gun deaths in Alabama were homicides. It is common for offenses involving the use of a deadly weapon, such as a firearm, to result in elevated charges or penalties.

Examples of Gun Crime Penalties in Alabama

The penalties associated with a gun crime conviction can be life-changing. Some of the most common types of penalties convicted offenders face include:

  • Imprisonment
  • Fines
  • Probation
  • Community service
  • Loss of gun rights
  • A permanent criminal record

The specific penalties depend on several factors, including the specific crime you are convicted of, whether you have prior criminal convictions, and whether there are any aggravating or mitigating factors that impact the seriousness of the case.

The impact of a gun crime conviction can last for years, impacting nearly every aspect of your life. Because of this, it is important to work with a Montgomery gun crime lawyer who can help you avoid or minimize these penalties.

Why You Should Hire a Gun Crime Lawyer Now

Gun crime cases can move quickly, as law enforcement often begins gathering evidence immediately. They may question you, search your property, and analyze the scene of the crime. However, it is important to know that you do have rights that deserve to be protected. Often, protecting your constitutional rights can even limit the evidence law enforcement can find against you.

One of the most important steps to take immediately after an arrest or during an investigation is to hire a gun crime lawyer. A Montgomery gun crime lawyer can explain what you should do to protect your rights and your future. They can also communicate with law enforcement on your behalf, which can protect you from accidental self-incrimination.

FAQs

How Much Jail Time Can You Get for a Gun Crime in Alabama?

The amount of jail time you can get for a gun crime in Alabama can range significantly based on the specific type of offense, your criminal record, and the circumstances of the case. For example, possessing a firearm with a felony record or domestic violence conviction results in a jail sentence of as much as 10 years. A Montgomery gun crime attorney can explain the specific sentence range associated with your charges.

Can a Convicted Felon Ever Possess a Gun in Alabama?

No, a convicted felon generally cannot possess a gun in Alabama. There are very limited exceptions to this law, such as if a felon receives a full pardon and has their civil rights restored. In Alabama, even certain misdemeanor offenses can mean you are unable to possess a gun, such as if you have a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction. 

Can a Gun Crime Be a Federal Offense?

Yes, a gun crime can be a federal offense. An offense may be federal if it involves violating specific federal laws rather than Alabama laws, using a gun during another federal crime, or involving multiple states or countries, such as in a gun trafficking offense.

Federal cases can be complex, following different laws and court proceedings compared to a state-level offense. It is important to hire a gun crime lawyer with federal experience, such as at Luck Law, LLC.

Is it Possible to Get Your Gun Rights Restored After a Conviction?

Yes, it is possible to get your gun rights restored after a conviction. However, this process is not simple or automatic. Only certain offenders are eligible, such as non-violent offenders who have completed their sentence and a waiting period. Restoration of gun rights is rarely possible for individuals convicted of high-level felonies or violent crimes.
