Defending Felons Charged With Possession Of A Firearm
Possession of a firearm by a felon is a violation of both Missouri and federal law, and you can be charged in either state or federal court. In 2008, Missouri statutes were changed, moving from a narrower approach to one that is more comprehensive in scope. In general, Missouri laws are stricter than federal laws. Nevertheless, effective defense strategies exist in many cases, regarding both state and federal charges. You should speak with an attorney with experience in weapons violation cases regarding your case.
