Defending Firearm Charges In Indianapolis, Indiana
Firearm charges carry serious consequences and can quickly escalate from a state matter to a federal case. Whether you face gun charges tied to an arrest or a standalone allegation of illegal possession, the outcome can affect your freedom and your future. At Kammen & Moudy, LLC, our firearm offenses defense lawyers stand ready to fight for you from day one.
Firearm Charges We Defend Against
Indiana firearm charges come in many forms, and the circumstances vary widely. Our attorneys review every detail of your situation before taking action. Common charges we defend include:
- Illegal possession of a firearm
- Possession by a prohibited person, including those with prior felony convictions
- Unlawful carry or possession in restricted locations
- Possession of a firearm during another criminal offense
- Use of a firearm in the commission of a crime

- Illegal modification or unlawful transfer of a weapon
No matter which firearm charges you face, our attorneys are ready to protect your rights.
The Consequences Of A Firearm Conviction
Weapons charges carry penalties that can reshape your life in serious ways. A conviction may result in far more than jail time. Understanding the full scope of consequences from the moment you learn of a criminal charge is critical. Those consequences may include:
- Jail or prison time, depending on the severity of the offense
- A felony conviction on your permanent record
- Permanent loss of your right to own or possess firearms
- Probation and ongoing supervision
- Federal prosecution in certain cases
- Enhanced sentencing tied to other charges
- Long-term impact on employment, licensing and housing
These risks make it essential to have a skilled firearm offenses defense lawyer on your side early.
Why Firearm Cases Require Experienced Legal Defense
Firearm cases often involve complex legal issues beyond the charge itself. How law enforcement gathered evidence can make a significant difference in your outcome. Key factors our firearm offenses defense lawyers examine include search and seizure issues, traffic stop and warrant concerns, constructive possession disputes and the overlap between state and federal law. Sentencing enhancements tied to your record or the nature of the offense can also dramatically affect your case.
