WEAPONS OFFENCES
LAWYERS FOR ALBERTA WEAPONS OFFENCES
Numerous offences concerning the use or possession of weapons are included in the Canadian Criminal Code. In general, it is forbidden to carry hidden weapons in public. The circumstances and the intended use of a given object heavily influence what qualifies as a weapon. A gun will almost always be regarded as a weapon. Depending on the situation, objects like baseball bats and knives may qualify as weapons. Weapons can include anything, including rocks, bottles, and nail files. Even if it wasn’t made for it, almost anything may be used as a weapon.
Weapons offences are serious business for the Crown. Penalties can be severe for both less serious weapons offences and more serious ones involving pistols and other firearms. Working with a competent attorney is essential while facing such criminal accusations in order to defend your rights and liberties.
