Types of Weapons Charges in New York

There are various types of weapons possession charges a defendant may face. There are offenses related to the weapons themselves, including, but not limited to:

  • Unlawful possession of a weapon
  • Felon in possession of a firearm
  • Possession of a concealed weapon
  • Possession related to the unlawful sale or distribution of a weapon or weapons

There are also weapons offenses which may be related to other crimes, such as armed robbery, drug trafficking, and violent offenses.

What are the Penalties for a Criminal Possession of a Weapon Conviction?

New York Penal Law § 265 defines the possible penalties for possession of a firearm and other weapons, and defines what is considered a dangerous weapon under state law and who may never possess such items. For example, a convicted felon, a non-citizen, or a person deemed unsuitable under the statute, may not possess a gun, switchblade, metal or plastic knuckles, stun gun, dagger, or any other deadly or dangerous weapon that could be used to inflict harm against another. Simply possessing such weapons, even if they were not used against another or to commit a crime, is a Class A misdemeanor.

Types of Felony Weapons Possession Charges

Other criminal possession charges are felonies, including:

  • possessing a weapon while on school grounds;
  • criminal possession of a firearm;
  • committing a crime while using a weapon or firearm;
  • possessing an assault weapon, bomb, or machinegun;
  • possessing multiple firearms;
  • possessing a silencer; and more.

In these cases, the severity of the punishment upon conviction varies based on the circumstances of the arrest. For example, if a defendant used a weapon to rob a bank or it was proven that they intended to harm a victim, the punishment will be much more severe than if the defendant simply owned the weapon or had it on their person.
