Protecting Your Firearm Rights In Southern Minnesota

As an attorney who has navigated the complexities of gun crime defense for over three decades, I understand the gravity of your situation. Gun crimes are taken with utmost seriousness, influenced by the ongoing national dialogue around gun control and the rights provided under the Second Amendment and the Minnesota Constitution. This heightened scrutiny has led to more rigorous prosecution of gun crimes both in Minnesota and across the country. Now more than ever, you need a seasoned attorney to help protect your rights.

I am proud to be an MSBA board-certified legal specialist in criminal law. I bring this extensive knowledge and experience to Fossum Law Office, LLC, in Bloomington, providing the depth of knowledge necessary to protect my clients’ rights and freedom in the face of criminal charges.

Putting My Experience To Work For You

Gun crimes in Minnesota encompass various offenses that involve firearms and weapons. Under Minnesota law, you cannot possess a firearm if you are a minor, convicted of a felony or violent crime, or have a mental illness. The severity of a weapon-related charge can range from a misdemeanor to a felony. For instance, utilizing a firearm to commit another crime typically escalates the charge to a felony level.

At Fossum Law Office, LLC, I can defend you against a range of gun crime charges, including:

  • Assault with a firearm present
  • Carrying a gun without a permit
  • Possessing an illegal weapon or silencer
  • Reckless discharge of a firearm
  • Being a straw buyer
  • Transporting loaded firearms illegally

The repercussions of a weapons crime conviction are profound and can have serious impacts on your employment opportunities, your ability to reside in subsidized housing, your standing in child custody disputes and your immigration status. Importantly, a conviction can also impact your future rights to own, possess or carry a firearm. Given these potential consequences, it is vital that you work with an experienced criminal defense attorney to protect your rights.
