Weapons Offences
Weapons offences are very serious in Canada and carry mandatory minimum sentences upon conviction. Anyone facing a weapons charge requires experienced legal counsel.
Some examples of weapons related offences:
- Carrying a concealed weapon
- Possession of prohibited or restricted weapon
- Weapons dangerous
- Possession for purpose of trafficking weapons
- Weapons trafficking
The definition of “weapon” under the Criminal Code is broad and not limited to firearms, knives, or items that are traditionally considered ‘weapons’. In Canada, a weapon can mean any thing used, or intended for use in causing death, injury or intimidation to any person. The use of a weapon in conjunction with another offence (such as assault or sexual assault) will potentially increase the severity of the penalty if found guilty.
