    Types of Weapon Charges

    Weapon-related offenses can include unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon without proper authorization, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and using a weapon during the commission of a crime.

    Convictions can result in significant fines, probation, and prison time. Penalties increase when a weapon is used in connection with another crime or when the accused has prior convictions.

    Georgia has specific laws governing who can legally possess and carry firearms or other weapons. Violations can occur when individuals carry without meeting legal requirements or possess prohibited weapons.

    Using or displaying a weapon while committing another offense can lead to enhanced charges and mandatory minimum sentences. These enhancements can significantly increase potential penalties.

    Weapon charges often depend on how evidence was obtained. If law enforcement conducted an unlawful search or seizure, that evidence may be challenged or excluded from the case.

    Defenses may include lack of knowledge, lawful possession, or violations of constitutional rights. A strong defense focuses on challenging evidence and protecting your legal rights at every stage.

    A conviction can result in a permanent criminal record, loss of firearm rights, and long-term consequences affecting employment and future opportunities.

    What to Do If You Are Charged with a Weapon Offense

    If you are facing a weapon-related charge in Georgia, taking immediate action is critical. These cases often involve strict laws and enhanced penalties, especially if a firearm is involved or tied to another alleged offense. Speaking to law enforcement without legal representation can put your case at risk, as anything you say may be used against you.

    At Bixon Law, we provide strategic and aggressive defense for individuals accused of weapon crimes in Atlanta and throughout Georgia. Our attorneys examine how evidence was obtained, challenge unlawful searches, and build a defense tailored to your situation. Acting early can make a significant difference in protecting your rights and your future.

    My brother was on news , accused fpr theft by conversion felony class d went to jail, out within 1 day and 1 year later case was dismissed . Mike was very helpful. Companies will avoid serviving Georgia state because regulations on state and level of education of detectives is lower then pre school kids . Thank you Mike big time!

    Albert Weis

    Mr. Bixon was a great choice as an attorney for our family. In a week he got our case entirely dismissed and we couldn’t be happier. He stayed in contact with us everyday giving us updates about how the case was moving alon, keeping us in the loop. It was extremely reassuring to have good communication like that. I couldn’t recommend him more and will definitely be using him for all my future legal needs.
