Weapon Offenses

If you falsify information on an application to get around New Jersey’s limit on handgun purchases, you’re facing a serious felony charge with enhanced penalties.

Under N.J.S.A. 2C:39-10(g), Providing False Information for Handgun Purchase Exemption, it is a crime of the third degree in New Jersey to give or cause to be given any false information, or to knowingly engage in any other fraudulent conduct, in applying for an exemption to purchase more than one handgun in a 30-day period.

If you’re convicted of violating 2C:39-10(g), you’ll be sentenced to prison for three to five years, but unlike most crimes of the third degree in New Jersey, the statute explicitly rules out the normal presumption of non-incarceration.

hat means that if convicted, you’ll have to serve time in custody, away from your family, and out of the community. You’ll also face fines of up to $15,000, and of course, you’ll have to live with a felony record, possibly for the rest of your life.

It doesn’t have to be this way. While there are no guarantees, your odds with a lawyer representing you are considerably better than without one.

Conviction on any number of crimes can result in an ineligibility to receive a firearms permit in New Jersey, but the specifics matter a lot.

Domestic violence crimes can result in a lifetime ban, while other disorderly and misdemeanor offenses may have no impact on your ability to get a permit.

Felony convictions can also produce a lifetime ban on firearms permits in New Jersey.

Many offenses are subject to expungement after a period of time, if all terms of your sentence have been completed satisfactorily.

Expungement is a way of, in effect, erasing the record of a criminal conviction and restoring your status as though you’d never been convicted.

This process can be used to reinstate your 2nd Amendment rights in New Jersey, though it is not available for all criminal convictions.

To learn whether your 2nd Amendment rights are in jeopardy from a current criminal charge, and whether you can regain them through expungement if convicted, call Matthew Reisig at 732-625-9661 today for a free consultation.
