Although the Constitution affords us the right to keep and bear arms, there are State and Federal statutes that regulate the possession of a firearm and ammunition. These “gun control” laws govern not only who can own or possess a firearm but also which firearms are considered legal or illegal to own or possess and how to transport a firearm legally. Criminal charges involving firearms are subject to stricter penalties in Los Angeles. Offenses related to firearms often result in mandatory jail time or, in severe cases, extended state prison sentences. The sentencing range for these charges typically includes a minimum sentence of several months or years, with maximum sentences potentially reaching decades, depending on the nature of the crime and any aggravating factors involved.
