Facing a Firearms Charge? Protect Your Rights with an Experienced Defence

Firearms and weapons offences in New South Wales carry serious legal consequences, from hefty fines and licence revocations to imprisonment. Whether you’ve been charged with unsafe storage, unauthorised possession, unlawful discharge, or carrying a prohibited weapon, the legal system does not take these matters lightly. A conviction can impact your career, travel, and even your ability to own a firearm in the future.

At Pendlebury Legal, we understand that not all firearm offences stem from criminal intent. Many arise from misunderstandings, technical violations, or lapses in paperwork. Our role is to ensure that your side of the story is heard and that your case is handled with the precision and expertise it deserves.

What Are Firearms
and Weapons
Offences

Firearms and weapons offences in New South Wales cover illegal possession, misuse, and trafficking of guns and restricted weapons. Strict laws regulate who can own, carry, or store firearms, and even minor infractions, like improper storage, can lead to heavy fines, licence suspension, or imprisonment. These laws also apply to prohibited weapons.

Whether you’re a licensed gun owner caught in a legal issue or facing serious allegations, a conviction can affect your job, travel, and future firearm rights. Understanding your charges and mounting a strong defence is crucial to protecting your future.
