Scottsdale Misconduct Involving Weapons / Prohibited Possessor Lawyer

Why Weapons Charges in Scottsdale Are Serious

Arizona’s misconduct involving weapons laws (A.R.S. §13-3102) are among the most complex in the nation. You can be charged with:

  • Carrying a firearm after a felony conviction
  • Carrying a concealed weapon without a valid permit
  • Alcohol or drug intoxication
  • Possession or use of a banned weapon

Because Scottsdale law enforcement and Maricopa County prosecutors aggressively pursue these offenses, first-time perpetrators can be charged with felonies. Our attorneys protect your rights from the start.
