Types of Weapons Charges in San Ramon
In California, most people have the right to possess a gun. However, there are limits to when a person can carry their gun and how they should carry it. California has some of the most comprehensive gun laws in the nation, so a person might find themselves in violation of one even when they do not realize they are breaking the law. In most instances, weapons charges are felonies in California.
Common California weapons charges include the following:
- Assault with a firearm
- Felon in possession of a firearm
- Manufacture, sale or possession of a legal weapon or large-capacity magazine
- Carrying a loaded firearm with intent to commit a felony
- Committing battery causing bodily injury
- Carrying a loaded firearm on person or in a vehicle while committing a narcotics offense
- Negligent discharge of a firearm
- Criminal storage of firearms in the first degree
- Illegal possession of a firearm
- Possession of assault weapon
- Carrying a concealed firearm
- Discharging firearm from motor vehicle
Because many of these crimes are felonies, they have the potential to change the rest of a person’s life upon conviction. In addition to prison time and heavy fines, a felony stays on a person’s record for the rest of their life. This could create difficulty finding a job, obtaining a place to live, or accessing other vital opportunities.

When Do Penalties for Weapons Charges Increase?
In some instances, weapons charges are enhanced if a person is accused of multiple offenses or receive them in tandem with other charges. For example, if a person is a repeat offender or is accused of a felony while in possession of a firearm, they will have likely face enhanced penalties.
In some instances, these increased penalties could be an additional 10 to 20 years in prison. Increased weapons charges can land a person in prison for the rest of their life, so these individuals need the help of an experienced San Ramon weapons charges attorney.
