Gun / Weapons Use & Possession Charges

​

Often weapons charges are brought against gun owners who are unaware of the Illinois gun laws and unknowingly violate them. For example, you must have a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card in order to carry a gun in your vehicle and you must transport it unloaded and in an enclosed case. Failure to do so can result in an unlawful use of a weapon charge, which can be a felony. If you are convicted of this charge, you could face up to 3 years in prison and would be unable to legally own a gun for the rest of your life. This is a severe penalty for breaking a law that you may not have been aware of.
