The Penalties of a Conviction

If you are facing a charge for possession of a firearm under the influence, you may suffer some severe penalties if you are convicted.

To secure a conviction, the state will have to prove one of the following beyond a reasonable doubt:

  • You could not safely operate a firearm because you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  • You had a BAC of .08 or more.

It is not uncommon for this charge to accompany a DUI charge. For example, if you were pulled over because a law enforcement officer suspected you were driving under the influence and, during the DUI investigation, your firearm was discovered, you may be charged with a DUI and possession of a firearm under the influence.

Moreover, this charge is a class A misdemeanor and, if convicted, you could face up to one year in jail. You may also be responsible for steep civil fines and your concealed carry license will likely be revoked for at least one year. If this is your second conviction, it may be revoked for three years.

    "Excellent Service!!!"
    Mr. Gigstad provided excellent service in helping me to remedy several traffic tickets, one of which had potentially serious consequences. He was very responsive, attentive and followed through on helping me resolve this situation. He's a great guy as well and I can't recommend him enough!

    "Robert Is Professional and Made the Writing of My Will Easy and Painless"
    Robert is professional and made the writing of my Will easy and painless. He is professional and competitive. I will gladly recommend Robert and his services!
    Brian P.
    "I Appreciate Robert's Efficiency and Patience"
    I really appreciate Robert's help with my case. I was ashamed, stressed and overwhelmed due to my intent to deprive charge. Robert made the process very easy and reminded me that everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. I never felt judged or as though he was telling me what I wanted to hear for money, he is sincere! I appreciate Robert's efficiency and patience, he always took time to explain everything in detail, e-mailed and/or called me back within the same business day. I never had to attend court until I signed my diversion paperwork. Needless to say I wouldn't hesitate to rehire Robert and you won't be disappointed for choosing Robert.

    "Robert Was Extremely Helpful and Great to Work With!"
    My dad has used Robert for several moving violations in the past and recommended that I give him a call for a speeding ticket of my own. Robert was extremely helpful and great to work with. He successfully got my speeding ticket reduced to a non moving violation.

    "Robert Hung in on My Case and We Prevailed in a Bogus Battery Case"
    Robert hung in on my case and we prevailed in a bogus battery case. It was a bit of a Mexican standoff with the prosecutor, but he got my case dismissed when it came down to crunch time. I would recommend his services to anyone!
    Josh T.
    "Robert Was Able to Handle Our Case with the Utmost Professionalism and Discretion"
    Robert was able to handle our case with the utmost professionalism and discretion. He took the time to outline any and all appropriate courses of action, demonstrating what I viewed as a superior consultative prowess. I was very appreciative of his aid, and would highly recommend him to my family and friends.
    Adam
    "Friendly, Reliable, and Professional"
    Chris was great! I was involved in a car accident at a stop light and was given a ticket for following too close. The girl I hit even said it wasn't my fault, however I was still given a citation. I contacted Chris to help me get my ticket reduced to a non-moving violation after several people told me it couldn't be done since I was involved in an accident. I provided Chris with all the details of the accident and he said he would take care of it. After a few exchanged emails, Chris attended my court date and got the job done! For a small fee, my ticket was reduced to a non-moving violation. I would encourage anyone to use Chris' services because he was friendly, reliable, and professional.
