Guns and Weapons Charges
The laws of California are strict regarding the ownership, display, and carrying of fire arms and weapons of any kind. The police will often make an arrest for the carrying of a firearm with little regard for any explanation given by the one being arrested. From that point, prosecution is generally vigorous and all interpretation of evidence having been acquired by the police will be done with a slant toward the district attorney’s case against the defendant. It is essential that the defendant have an attorney that knows how to evaluate each piece of evidence with the success of the defendant in mind.
