TORONTO CRIMINAL LAWYER DEFENDING AGAINST FIREARMS AND WEAPONS CHARGES
Firearm and weapon charges are extremely serious and a conviction can result in lengthy periods of incarceration. These offences cover a broad range of conduct relating to the use, possession, storage, and transfer of firearms and other weapons. When firearms are used in the commission of other offences, harsher penalties may be imposed.
