yes you can. if i get mad at a convicted felon and just say he or she has a gun when no gun is ever found, that felon goes to jail. some law huh? i know someone in jail right now for this offense. I have had three lawyers tell me it is possible thru eyewitness statement even though no weapon was found. these lawyers also informed me how crooked the county i live in is and someone needs to investigate the wrong doings but i don't know where to begin. I was told internal affairs but they might be just as crooked.
The phrase encompasses ALL of the other crimes which COULD be charged with the offense (i.e.:possession of a prohibited weapon - possession of an-unregistered firearm - carrying a ocncealed weapon - etc- etc).
If there is weapon in the home she is in grave danger of being charged with "possession" of a firearm, and YOU could also be charged as an accessory for knowingly allowing her to have access. It is NOT necessary to actually have the firearmn ON youir person to be charged with possession, mere 'ready access' to it serves as the prohibiting factor.
Absolutely they can. It is not necessary to prove who owned the weapon or who was actually carrrying it. The fact is that they ALL had access to it. This is known in the law as "Concurrent Possession."
A felon in possession of a firearm will face a new felony range charge. Punishment ranges from probation to up to ten years in jail.
Because he had the knife illegally, he was charged with being in possession of an offensive weapon.
its when you have a gun or any weapon that fires bullets.
it is first a felony for having them in possession, and for attack you will be punished but for self defense you would only be charged with possession of an illegal weapon?
Not enough information to answer. What is making the possession of it "illegal?" Was it used in an unlawful manner? Is it a stolen weapon? Are you an adjudged felon?
On the grounds that they aere armed with a weapons of some type during the robbery, which was threatening to the victim(s). It is NOT necessary that the weapon be a firearm or knife.
Yes, a weapon is a weapon.
Either assault or attempted murder. If you used a weapon it would be assault with a weapon/deadly weapon.
By two means: Physical possession - you actually have the weapon in your hand or on your person. And - constructive possession - although the firearm is not on your person, you KNOW it is nearby and you could have access to it and exercise control over it very quickly and/or easily.
