Prosecution of Firearm Possession in Conjunction With a Felony
Two of the most common indictments by the federal government involving firearms are the use of a gun in conjunction with a drug crime and a convicted felon possessing a gun. In most cases, charges of firearm possession are usually in conjunction with another charge, such as criminal domestic violence or drug trafficking.
Our Federal drug trafficking attorneys are experienced in handling federal weapons violations and are familiar with the tactics the United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina uses in prosecuting firearms violations. We will carefully examine the circumstances leading up to your arrest and file motions to suppress any evidence that was gathered illegally.
