"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Most law schools do not even teach their students that the Second Amendment of the Constitution even exists. In our firm, we proudly defend your gun ownership rights.

As a member of the National Rifle Association and the Lawyer's Second Amendment Society, I strongly believe in legal gun ownership.

Generally, otherwise law abiding clients see me after getting arrested for possessing a firearm in their vehicle, on their person, or in the airport. They are then introduced to the criminal process, which is generally quite a shocking and humiliating experience.

Many of my colleagues see fighting for gun ownership and possession distasteful, as something that goes against the grain of their political beliefs. Not me. I will fight aggressively for your rights; something in which I strongly believe.

We have represented Law Officers, and have received numerous Not Guilty verdicts for our clients. Our firm has a near 100% acquittal rate for the defense of Firearm Offenses.  An experienced Ventura criminal defense attorney could be able to offer you the legal advice that you need. 

 

Firearms update:

New law for 2010 for Firearms is not good so pay attention!

Penal Code section 1524, subdivision (a), had previously listed eight grounds for

issuance of a search warrant. This bill adds three more grounds.

Older section:

Pen. C. § 1524, subd. (a) A search warrant may be issued

upon any of the following grounds:

 

Section 9 stated in part "When the … things to be seized include a firearm or

any other deadly weapon at the scene of, or at the premises

occupied or under the control of the person arrested in

connection with, a domestic violence incident involving a threat

to human life or a physical assault as [defined] …."

 

New Laws for 2010

Under subdivision 10 and 11 be aware that there are new grounds for a warrant that are a "firearm" or "other deadly weapon" that are in the possession or in the custody or control of a person "detained" for a mental examination.  And, where the "firearm" or "other deadly weapon" is in the custody or control of a person subject to the prohibitions regarding firearms pursuant to Family Code 6389 or 6218, ie, "restraining orders" and "protective orders"

This is why you must aggressively fight those restraining orders and protective orders even though they seem like a small intrusion on their face.  They intrude many of your other rights, so be vigilant and hire the right attorney to fight for your rights.
