Defense of a Strike on Your Record
Possession of a gun or other firearm isn't a crime unless you are a felony. If you are a felon charged with possession of a weapon, this could become an additional strike on your record. If you are not a felon, the possession of a weapon is an enhancement if you are found guilty of any additional charge such as assault, domestic violence or robbery.
A gun possession or weapons charge is a serious matter that warrants the skill of an experienced criminal defense attorney. Gerald C. Carrasco is a San Luis Obispo gun crime defense attorney with the experience and the aggressive stance that you will need to fight your charge.

If you're in a bar fight with a gun in your pocket, this is a serious matter, even if you do not show or use the weapon. The assault charge could be elevated to an aggravated assault charge and the punishment enhanced if you're found guilty. Similarly, if you have a DUI arrest with a gun in the car, that charge could be enhanced.
"One of the methods I use to fight the weapons charge is to fight the underlying charge first." — Attorney Gerald Carrasco
