The United States grants its citizens the freedom to bear arms, a right that is particularly valued in West Virginia. However, there are legal restrictions on firearm possession. Under West Virginia law, most individuals who are not considered prohibited persons can legally keep firearms in their homes or vehicles.

If someone unlawfully carries a handgun in a restricted area or is prohibited from carrying a weapon due to a felony conviction, they could face misdemeanor or felony charges. Firearm-related offenses can be prosecuted under both state and federal laws.

A conviction for a gun crime carries serious consequences. It could lead to fines, imprisonment, and a permanent criminal record, along with the loss of your right to own or possess firearms in the future. If you’re facing such charges, it’s crucial to start building your defense immediately. Contact Harclerode Law today for skilled weapons defense representation.
