Colorado Gun Crimes Defense Attorneys

If you accidentally bring your gun to the airport and a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent confiscates it, you have a few options. You can plead ignorance or mistaken belief. You can also demonstrate the gun was inoperable. But remember: Even a replica firearm must be stored in checked baggage, per TSA regulations. An experienced criminal defense attorney can advise you on your defense strategy.

In Colorado, unlawful firearm storage involves a gun owner failing to securely store their weapon. The law requires responsible firearm storage to prevent unauthorized access and potential harm, especially as it involves minors. Failure to comply can result in criminal charges, including fines and possibly jail time.

In Colorado, you must be 18 or older to have a firearm. Exceptions exist for specific activities like firearm safety courses, hunting with a valid license, and self-defense against intruders. However, possession of a handgun under unlawful circumstances can result in serious criminal charges that may include fines and even jail time.
