Long Island Weapon and Gun Possession Defense Lawyer

Long Island, New York Gun Laws

In New York, an individual needs to obtain a permit to own certain types of guns. Out-of-state permits are not valid, and a separate permit is needed to transport a gun into New York City. An individual who carries a gun without a permit can be charged with illegal firearm possession. They can also be charged if they have a permit but take their gun to a place where firearms are prohibited, such as school grounds.

New York has some of the strictest gun laws, and if an individual is convicted of illegally possessing a firearm they face harsh penalties. If you have been charged, it is imperative to contact a skilled lawyer immediately. At The Law Offices of Scott Gross, P.C., we have over 13 years of experience providing top-quality legal advocacy to individuals facing criminal charges.
