Firearm and Weapons Offenses
One of the most commonly charged felony offenses is Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW), which generally involves a pistol, but could also apply to stabbing weapons or any item carried as a weapon for the purpose of assault or defense. Often, the CCW charge is just one of the listed offenses that are charged with additional offenses such as Felon in Possession, Carrying a Weapon with Unlawful Intent or, under particular circumstances, Felony Firearm which may subject you to a mandatory 2-year prison term, if convicted.
A Felony Firearm conviction runs consecutive to any potential incarceration for the other charged offenses and, again, is a mandatory 2-year prison term for a first offense. A second conviction carries a mandatory five-year minimum sentence.
