Q: Can the feds pick up a gun possession charge two months after my arrest.
I was arrested 6/22/2021 for possession of hand gun by serious violent felon, dealing in meth. 10 g.
The gun was my wife's she has carry permit and it was locked in a safe. Can the feds make a Federal case from the gun charge?
A: Never make any statements, admissions, clarifications anywhere in public including open online forums related to any alleged criminal activity. Immediately discuss your case with a licensed criminal defense attorney directly.
A: Immediately discuss the pending criminal cases with an experienced criminal defense counsel as any admissions and case statements may be used against you.
A:
They can try.
Most weapon offenses, including those involving firearms, can involve violations of federal law and state law.
The feds can pick it up months later easily. That is easily within the statute of limitations for a federal felony like a weapons offense.
Anyone in that kind of situation needs a really good criminal defense lawyer to represent them.
