Are You Facing Weapons Charges in Las Vegas, Nevada?
Contact the Defense Lawyers of Ciciliano & Associates
Weapons charges constitute serious charges in Nevada and in other states. Judges frequently have a large amount of discretion in sentencing and often increase sentences substantially when weapons are present. Probation can increase to jail time, and short jail time durations can increase dramatically to years and even decades in prison.
Just as importantly, weapons can formally "enhance" other crimes. In Nevada, sentences for convictions for violent crimes, like battery and burglary, committed with the use of deadly weapons double in severity. For example, burglary carries a common sentence of one to 10 years in prison. Burglary committed with a deadly weapon would consequently carry a likely sentence of two to 20 years in prison.
In addition to violent crimes committed with a deadly weapon like murder, assault, burglary and sex crimes, violations involving weapons that can carry severe penalties include:
- Possession of firearms
- Possession of firearms while trafficking drugs
- Felony possession of firearms
- Possession of firearms by convicted felons
