Firearms and Weapons Charges in Michigan

A person can be charged with a crime for merely possessing a weapon or if a weapon is used to commit a crime. Generally, a person has a right under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution to keep and bear arms. However, this right is not absolute in the eyes of the law. There are many statutes that restrict the right and make it a crime to possess a firearm in certain locations, especially if you do not have a concealed pistol license (CPL).

A person with a felony record can be prosecuted in State or Federal court solely for possessing a firearm. The law is evolving, so people with felony convictions may soon be able to possess firearms under certain situations and circumstances.

• Felon in Possession of a firearm

• Felony Firearm - third offense
• Possession of brass knuckles
• Possession of a switchblade knife
• Felonious Assault
• Possession of explosives

There are defenses available to fight firearms and weapons charges. Mitch Foster has successfully defended clients who used weapons in self defense and defense of others. The Michigan “stand your ground” law does not require a person to retreat if they honestly and reasonably believe that they have to use force to protect themselves or others from the imminent unlawful use of force by another.
