What Are The Potential Defences For Weapons Offences?
There are many possible ways to defend against a weapons offence. Our firm has represented hundreds of clients in weapons-related cases. We have successfully had charges dismissed based on some of the following factors:
- The weapon may have been discovered as a result of an illegal search or detention and could be excluded from evidence at trial.
- There may be a lawful reason for possessing the object, such as self-defence.
- An individual may be carrying a "weapon," such as a knife, for a legitimate purpose, like work.
