Other crimes involving firearms include:

  • Carrying a concealed weapon
  • Using a firearm during a robbery
  • Using a firearm during a home invasion
  • Failing to surrender a firearm following a protective order in a domestic violence case
  • Using a firearm to threaten
  • Using firearms while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Using firearms around children, buildings or cars
  • Dealing in stolen firearms
  • Juveniles illegally owning or possessing guns

In both federal and state court, any crime committed with the use of a gun will result in harsher penalties, including longer prison sentences.
