Most gun owners, by and large, are responsible gun owners. However, you may be committing a misdemeanor or felony weapons offense without even realizing it. Some of the most common firearm and weapon charges in Columbus are:
-Carrying concealed weapons
-Unlawful possession of a dangerous ordnance
-Unlawful transaction in weapons
-Improper discharge of a firearm
-Providing firearms to a minor
-Using firearms while intoxicated
-Improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle
-Possession of a firearm by convicted felon
All of these charges come with hefty penalties. While a minor misdemeanor may only cost you $150 in court, a conviction could stay with you for a long time. Other penalties include significant jail and prison time, and cost thousands in fines. On top of that, you may experience difficulties finding a job or housing in the future should you be convicted.
