There are different laws regulating weapons in Virginia. The most prevalent weapon-related violation involves possessing a concealed weapon. The law against possessing a concealed weapon does not only apply to guns. It also applies to weapons, like razors, revolvers, switchblades, bowie knives, machetes, pistols, nunchucks, and slingshots.
Since weapon laws can be harsh, it is essential to hire a lawyer if you are facing charges. Failure to do so could subject you to the harsh consequences that come with a conviction. Among other consequences, you could face a revocation of your Second Amendment right to bear arms. A conviction for weapon charges can also stay on your record indefinitely and reflect on background checks against you years after the conviction.
