Facing a Weapons Offence?

Weapons charges in Alberta can arise from carrying, using, storing, or possessing firearms or prohibited devices. At TC Legal, we defend clients facing all types of weapons allegations — from first-time possession to weapons used in alleged assaults or other crimes.

Even if you had no intent to use a weapon, you can still face serious penalties — including jail time.

Defending Your Rights Under Firearms Law

We investigate the legality of searches, licensing issues, and intent. If your Charter rights were violated or the weapon was found improperly, we can work to have the charges withdrawn or reduced. Our goal is to minimize your exposure and preserve your freedom.

FAQ

frequently asked questions

What’s considered an illegal weapon in Alberta?

Prohibited items include switchblades, brass knuckles, and unlicensed firearms. Even legal weapons must be stored and transported properly.

Can I be charged for carrying a legal weapon?

Yes — if it was carried in a prohibited place, used improperly, or not stored according to regulations.

What’s the penalty for firearms offences?

It depends on the charge. Some carry mandatory jail terms. Others may lead to fines, bans, or probation.

What if I didn’t know the weapon was illegal?

Lack of knowledge may be a defence, but it must be proven. We’ll work to demonstrate your intent and understanding.

Can my charges be dropped if I had a permit?

Possibly. If the permit covers the circumstances, we may get charges withdrawn. But even licensed owners can be charged for improper use.
