What You Need to Know About Firearm Charges in Massachusetts

Gun charges in Massachusetts can stem from many situations, including:


  • Carrying without a license (LTC or FID)
  • Possession of an unregistered firearm
  • Transport violations
  • Assault with a deadly weapon
  • Possession during the commission of a felony


Penalties can include mandatory minimum sentences and license revocation. Even a first offense can carry jail time—so early legal representation is critical.
