Weapon Charges in New York
Charges involving weapons can include a variety of crimes including criminal possession of both deadly weapons and “dangerous instruments.”
Weapons of these kinds can include but are not limited to:
- Firearms
- Switchblades
- Daggers
- Plastic or metal knuckles
- Blackjacks
- Machine guns
Weapon charges can include both misdemeanors and felonies, depending on the circumstances. Criminal possession of a weapon can be charged in the fourth-degree, third-degree, second-degree, and first-degree. Other charges include possession of a firearm or rapid-fire modification device and criminal possession of a weapon on school grounds. Certain weapons, such as machine guns and short-barreled shotguns or rifles, are illegal. The state of New York requires licenses for firearms. However, New York City has passed local gun laws that do not automatically recognize state laws.
New York’s complicated gun laws can carry penalties of up to a year in jail and/or fines of up to $1,000, as well as felonies carrying up to 25 years in prison. For example, if you are convicted of possessing a weapon on school grounds, you can face up to four years in prison.
