Criminal Gun Charges Explained

Unfortunately, there are often numerous firearm-related offenses and charges that come up in Connecticut. They can include everything from carrying a firearm under the influence of drugs or alcohol, selling firearms illegally, using firearms illegally, committing a felony while in possession of a firearm, being in possession of stolen guns, recklessly discharging a firearm, unlawfully carrying a firearm, owning a firearm without a permit, and more.

Firearm Offense Consequences

In Connecticut, criminal possession of a firearm is considered a Class C felony, which can be punishable by up to ten years in jail, two of which cannot be suspended as they are a mandatory minimum, and fines up to $5,000. However, since there are many other firearms regulations that can apply in the state, there may be additional punishments that can result.
