We approach these cases with disciplined preparation, careful legal analysis, and a commitment to protecting our clients’ constitutional and statutory rights.
Understanding Weapons and Firearms Charges in Wyoming
Weapons and firearms charges in Wyoming can arise in a variety of situations, including traffic stops, investigations connected to other alleged offenses, or disputes involving possession or use of a weapon. These cases often turn on technical legal questions, statutory definitions, and the specific circumstances involved.
​
Even where no injury is alleged, weapons charges can result in severe penalties and long-term restrictions, making early legal guidance critical.
Types of Weapons and Firearms Charges We Defend
We represent clients facing a wide range of weapons-related allegations, including:
-
Unlawful possession of a firearm
-
Weapons charges connected to other alleged offenses
-
Firearms allegations involving prior convictions
-
Use or display of a weapon during an alleged crime
-
Felony weapons offenses
​
Each case requires close attention to the facts, applicable statutes, and constitutional considerations.
Potential Consequences of Weapons Convictions
Weapons and firearms convictions can carry lasting consequences that extend well beyond the immediate case. Depending on the charge and circumstances, penalties may include:
-
Jail or prison sentences
-
Probation or supervised release
-
Significant fines and court costs
-
Permanent loss of firearm rights
-
Restrictions on hunting, employment, or professional licenses
-
A permanent criminal record
​
Because these cases often implicate fundamental rights, careful defense is essential.
How Weapons Cases are Evaluated and Defended
Effective defense in weapons cases requires detailed legal analysis and factual review. Defense strategies may involve examining:
-
The legality of searches and seizures
-
Whether possession was lawful under Wyoming law
-
Statutory definitions and charging decisions
-
The relationship between weapons charges and other allegations
-
Whether constitutional protections were respected
​
Not every weapons charge is supported by admissible evidence, and outcomes often depend on how the case is evaluated early and the experience of your attorney.
