GUNS, FIREARMS & WEAPONS POSSESSION CASES
ATTORNEY PAUL N. PURI
Firearm Possession Defense Attorney
in the Bay Area and Northern California
Usually cases involving possession of firearms or other
weapons, e.g., knives, mace, etc., are relatively simple cases. To
prove possession, the government must either have a witness
that observed the possession, i.e., a police officer or other
percipient witness, or must utilize forensic science. In cases
where there is no witness to the possession, the government
must send the weapon to the fingerprint lab.
Where the government alleges the accused discharged the
firearm illegally, and there are no witnesses, the government
must send the accused's clothing to a crime lab and have it
tested for gunpowder residue, as well as sending the weapon to
the fingerprint lab and ballistics experts. Thus, the key to
defending such cases is having the defense attorney's own
expert do an independent analysis.
Firearm or weapons possession charges could either be
misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the weapon and
the history of the defendant.

"I believe in our freedoms;
so I'm calling it 'accusation
law.' I don't like the phrase
'criminal law.' You're not a
criminal if the prosecution
can't prove it. When I fight
for you, this is the law of
accusations not criminals."
