- Q. Charged with gun possession; gun found in gym bag at previous residence.
- A: Based upon the facts that you have set forth in your email, I believe that it would be difficult for the Commonwealth to directly tie you to the handgun. The Commonwealth would have to prove that you possessed the firearm. Absent any other information such as a video of you with the gun or witness testimony placing you with the gun, a conviction would be quite difficult.
- Q. How can I petition the court to restore my firearm rights after felonies in Massachusetts?
- A: In order to attempt to regain your firearm license the first step should be to apply to your local licensing authority. Most likely, the police department. If it is then denied, an appeal to the applicable court would be the next step.
- Q. Should I hire an attorney for gang stalking in MA?
- A: Any time that you believe that you have been the victim of a crime you should notify the appropriate police department and / or appropriate federal agency. If you do not have the time or experience to do so, an attorney may be helpful in guiding you through the process.
