Defense Lawyer in Rockville, Maryland |

Protecting
the Rights of People in Maryland and Washington, D.C.
In the Second
Amendment to the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution,
Americans are guaranteed the right to keep and bear
arms. Though the text is clearly stated, its meaning
and interpretation are strongly contested. Law enforcement
is not immune to this debate, so it should not be surprising
that efforts to enforce laws regulating illegal gun
possession sometimes infringe on the rights of innocent
people.
At the Law
Office of Michael S. Rothman, located in Rockville,
Maryland, I offer experienced and aggressive legal representation
to individuals charged with illegal gun possession in
Maryland and the District of Columbia.

I can assist
you with weapons-related charges including:
- Illegal
gun possession
- Possession
of an unregistered gun
- Concealed
weapons charges
- Criminal
possession of a weapon
- Felon
in possession of a regulated firearm
- Unlawfully
carrying a loaded firearm
- Unlawful
possession of ammunition
In most cases
a permit is not required to possess a rifle or a shotgun.
However, handguns are regulated firearms and a permit
is usually required. Possession of a handgun is prohibited
for any person who:
- Has been
convicted for a crime of violence
- Has been
convicted of violating the Maryland pistol law
- Is a fugitive
from justice
- Is a habitual
drunkard
- Is an
addict or habitual use of narcotics, barbiturates
or amphetamines
- Suffers
from a mental disorder, has a history of violent behavior
and has been confined to a mental facility for more
than 30 days
Often times,
a person with a prior conviction for a felony may be
unaware that they are in violation of the law and could
face criminal charges, including jail time. A conviction
on a weapons charge can have serious negative consequences
including fines, jail time and loss of a security clearance
necessary required for employment.
