Gun Crimes

While the team at Crossroad Legal strongly supports the Second Amendment and believes that every law-abiding American should be allowed to own, carry, and indeed conceal a firearm, there are many rules and restrictions that can lead to an unintended felony charge. Illinois has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. If you do not have a Firearm Owners Identification card (FOID), you can be charged with a felony just for possessing a bullet or shell casing. Use of a firearm comes with severe consequences. If you’ve been charged with a gun crime, don’t take chances with your freedom and future. Never speak to the police without an attorney present, never consent to be searched, and contact Crossroad Legal right away if you’ve been charged.
