Re: Gun Possession
It depends on the county. Some jurisdictions require jail even for first-time offenders. BUT, there are always exceptions. You are welcome to call to discuss the exceptions.
Re: Gun Possession
Your question is not specific enough to receive a direct answer, that being said in N.Y.C. there are now special parts handling gun cases with the purpose of prosecuting these cases to the fullest extent of the law. This means even first offenders are subject to a mandatory jail term of one year. Did you have a permit for the gun? What were the circumstances of the stop?Perhaps the gun can be suppressed.You may call my office @718-834-0087 and I may be better able to answer you question.
