Local Law Firms Home > Criminal Defense Overview > Criminal Defense Weapon Charges Arrest > Rifles A rifle can be a deadly and dangerous weapon that can lead to severe penalties if an illegal act is committed with one. Weapons cases and crimes that involve rifles, like a drug case, are usually accompanied by a search and seizure issue that can be exploited. Beyond that, an attorney can thoroughly investigation whether the state can affirmatively link you to the rifle. Attorneys also build up a solid defense that can justify the possession of the rifle; in some cases, rifle possession is a misunderstanding that stems from misidentifying common objects. Additionally, an offer by a lawyer to forfeit the rifle is sometimes granted in exchange for less severe penalties or even having the case dismissed altogether.
