A: These types of charges are always tricky, because it depends on a lot of different questions. Was the gun registered to her? Was the car hers? How long had the gun been there? Where exactly in the vehicle was the gun? These are questions that should definitely be addressed, as they help build your defense. You should definitely reach out to a criminal defense lawyer to discuss further.
