In Massachusetts, you can go to jail for a conviction, for illegally possessing a weapon. For the most part you see this with firearms. Now there are legal ways of having a firearm, you can have a license, that type of thing. But if you don't have a license, you could easily go to jail, particularly depending on what that firearm is, you have an AK-47, people are going to be nervous. So it's a crime that you do need to take seriously. You do want to have a good attorney with you, to try and minimize the chances of going to jail, particularly since those cases are pretty tough to fight, because you've got the officers saying: "found the gun, in his pocket." You can say the officer is lying, but maybe the attorney has better options. Im Sam Goldberg, lead counsel for criminal defense matters, at Altman and Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
