Arrested
for Felon in Possession of a Firearm in Wisconsin?
Protect Your
Rights With the Strong
Criminal Defense!
It is illegal to be in possession of a
gun or firearm in Wisconsin if you've been convicted of a previous
felony. The penalties can be severe if you are found
guilty. The law states that you are guilty of the charge if they can prove that:
- The
person has been convicted of a felony in Wisconsin, has been convicted
in another state of a crime that would be a felony if committed in this
state, has been adjudicated delinquent on or after April 21, 1994 of a
crime that if committed by an adult in Wisconsin would be a felony, has
been found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect of a felony
in Wisconsin, found not guilty by reason of insanity or mental illness
in another state, has been committed for treatment under §
51.20 (13) (a) and ordered not to possess a firearm under §
51.20 (13) (cv), or has been enjoined under an injunction pursuant to
§ 813.12 or § 813. 122
- That person possessed a firearm
The maximum penalty for being a felon in possession of a gun on firearm under Wisconsin laws is 10 years in
prison and a $25,000 fine, which is a class G felony.
Wisconsin
Defense Strategies - Unlawful Possession of a Gun or Firearm
Depending on the fact of the case, the typical defenses for a firearms
possession charge are 1) can they prove that you were actually in
possession of the gun, or 2) did they have a legitimate legal basis for
when they found the weapon in your possession. I'll need to do a
thorough examination of the police report and any other evidence
against you before I would suggest exactly what the best way to fight
these charges might be.
