Many crimes involve the use of a weapon. If convicted, you could face a mandatory prison sentence because a weapon was involved. For example, a felony firearm conviction results in a mandatory 2-year prison sentence. That’s why it’s so critical to pick and experienced criminal defense lawyer who will zealously defend against the weapons charges abiding by Michigan firearm law.

There are other less serious firearm charges, such as careless discharge of a firearm, brandishing a firearm in public, or reckless use of a firearm. While you won’t face prison time for misdemeanor charges such as these, your right to carry a pistol or other firearm could be revoked. It is critical that you contact a firearms lawyer in Michigan to determine the effect of a firearm conviction on your right to carry a pistol or use a firearm.
