Firearm Charges Reduced to Disorderly Conduct

When a new Chester County resident was pulled over in a traffic stop, she rightfully told the police officer that she had a legally purchased firearm in the glove box. A former resident of Virginia, the client was unfamiliar with Pennsylvania’s more stringent gun laws.

She was charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and could have permanently lost her right to gun ownership. Attorney Michael Skinner negotiated a deal to reduce the charges to summary disorderly conduct.
