Weapons Charges

The Cochran Firm

Weapon charges is a term that refers to the criminal act of carrying a weapon or using a weapon unlawfully.  Often times, people are charged with weapons crimes after they have committed other times of criminal offenses like drug crimes, violent crimes or sex crimes.  Common examples of weapon charges in conjunction with other criminal offenses include:  use of a weapon during a drug crime, possession of a weapon in proximity to a drug crime, robbery, aggravated battery/assault and felony carjacking.

What most people do not realize is that when they commit a crime that involves possession of a weapon or illegal use of a weapon, they are automatically subjected to minimum sentencing guidelines in the state of Texas.  This means that most people who are convicted of their weapons charges will have to serve some time in jail.  The length of time will depend upon the type of weapon they used, the criminal offense(s) they are convicted of, their criminal history and whether or not they injured innocent people with their weapon.
