Firearms

In New Jersey, all of the basic firearms statutes are in the Criminal Code, which is just one example of the governmental bias against firearms possession. Prosecutors and police never give up a chance to gain title to or destroy an individual’s guns, as well as prevent an individual from purchasing guns in the future, no matter how specious the claim. They do this because they can – until they are stopped. We have extensive experience in representing gun owners with their legal concerns, which can be classified into three major areas: permit appeals (denials of permit applications or revocation of current permits); gun seizures and confiscations (usually but not always resulting from domestic violence restraining orders) and possessory offenses (“assault firearms” and “high capacity magazines,” etc.). We have also represented firearms organizations in legal actions against municipalities. It is very important with these types of cases to retain an attorney who has both an interest and experience in defending your gun rights.
