Firearms

Firearms charges can have significant, long-lasting impact on your life. If you are convicted of firearms charges, you may face fines, imprisonment, and the loss of your right to own firearms in the future. Furthermore, having a criminal record can negatively affect your job opportunities, make it more difficult to travel out of the country, and uphold a positive personal reputation.

Here at Cowan Law Chambers, our criminal lawyers are equipped to give you the legal guidance and representation you need. We have been working in criminal law since 1995, and we are deeply committed to securing the best possible outcomes for each of our clients. If you are facing firearms charges, we strongly recommend contacting us.

We know that there are several laws that regulate the possession, use, storage, and transportation of firearms, and we’ll work relentlessly to reduce the severity of the consequences you’re facing. For instance, we can help you if you are facing any of the following firearms charges:

• Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm: A person may face this charge if they possess a firearm without the required licence or registration.
• Possession of a Prohibited or Restricted Firearm: Canadian regulations categorize firearms into non-restricted, restricted, and prohibited classes. Possessing a prohibited or restricted firearm without a licence or authorization can lead to serious consequences.
• Careless Use of a Firearm: If someone uses a firearm in a way that endangers the public, they can be charged with this offence.
• Firearms Trafficking: Someone involved in illegally trading or distributing firearms can face major legal penalties.
