Firearms Violations are Taken Very Seriously in Oklahoma

Oklahoma law places many restrictions on who can possess a gun, when and where they can have a gun, and how they can use a gun.

Make sure you have an experienced attorney on your side to protect your 2nd Amendment Right to Bear Arms and utilize all possible legal defenses.

We Defend the Full Range of Gun Charges in Central Oklahoma

Gun crimes charges are notoriously complex. You do not have to take on law enforcement officers or state prosecutors alone. Fassio Law is willing and able to defend your rights and protect your freedom from any type of gun charge, including:

• Possession of a Firearm After Former Conviction (AFC) or Former Juvenile Adjudication: A serious criminal offense in which a person previously convicted of a felony—or a case where a juvenile would have been convicted of a felony if committed by an adult—is accused of unlawfully possessing a firearm.
• Possession of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony: A person who stands accused of using a gun during a felonious act can face an even more serious firearms-related criminal charge in Oklahoma.
• Reckless Discharge of a Firearm: Reckless discharge of a firearm is an offense that can be charged against a person who irresponsibly fires a gun without consideration for the safety of others, thereby putting lives at risk.
• All Types of Assault charges alleging use of a gun (Assault with a Dangerous or Deadly Weapon, Pointing a Firearm, Drive-by Shooting, aka Discharge of a Firearm from a Motor Vehicle): All of these assault-based firearms charges are extremely serious and can result in heavy fines and extended jail time. Each charge's specific severity depends on the circumstances of the offense.

Defending Yourself Against a Gun Charge in OKC

Of course, a criminal charge is not a criminal conviction. You have every right to zealously defend yourself against a gun charge in Oklahoma. Here are some notable legal defenses that can be raised in these cases:

• Lack of Probable Cause to Search (Invalid Search): Lack of probable cause asserts that law enforcement officials didn't have a valid reason to initiate the search or seizure that led to the discovery of the firearm. If successful, this could lead to the exclusion of the gun as evidence.
• Self-Defense: You may be able to claim self defense. Under Oklahoma law, you have the right to protect yourself and your property, given that the force used is proportionate to the threat faced. If you can prove you were in immediate danger, this defense might be applicable.
• Insufficient Evidence: It is the State's burden to prove you violated a gun charge law. Make sure you have a lawyer who will hold them to this burden. Among other things, you may be able to dispute the reliability of witness testimony or argue that the physical evidence does not definitively link you to the crime.
