Understanding The Types Of Gun Crimes
Gun crimes encompass a wide range of offenses, each with its own set of legal implications. Some of the most common gun crimes include:
- Illegally possessing or purchasing a firearm: This includes having a gun without a permit, purchasing a firearm from an unlicensed dealer, or possessing a firearm as a prohibited person, such as a felon or someone with a mental health history.
- Unregistered firearms: In Maryland, all firearms must be registered with the Maryland State Police. Failure to register a firearm is a misdemeanor offense.
- Weapons trafficking: This involves the illegal sale or transfer of firearms, often across state lines. Weapons trafficking is a serious felony offense that can result in significant prison time.
- Shooting someone: This can range from a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment to a felony charge of aggravated assault or murder, depending on the circumstances.
The penalties for gun crimes vary depending on the specific offense, but they can be severe. In Maryland, a conviction for a gun crime can result in:
- Fines of up to $10,000 or more
- Prison time, ranging from a few months to several years
- A criminal record that can limit future employment, education and housing opportunities
- Damage to your reputation that can affect personal relationships and community standing
