Firearm Licensing / Gun Charges

At Milligan & Higgins, we understand that firearm-related legal matters require a specialized approach, particularly in Massachusetts, where firearm laws are among the strictest in the country. Our dedicated criminal defense team focuses on cases involving firearm charges, licensing issues, and other Second Amendment concerns. With in-depth knowledge of Massachusetts’ complex gun laws, we are committed to defending your rights and providing skilled guidance every step of the way.

Massachusetts has stringent laws governing who can own, carry, or possess firearms, and even minor infractions can result in severe penalties. Whether you are facing charges for illegal possession, carrying a firearm without the proper license, or dealing with issues related to firearm storage and transport, our experienced attorneys are here to help. We thoroughly investigate the details of each case, scrutinizing evidence, assessing witness statements, and identifying any constitutional or procedural violations that could impact the outcome. Our goal is to develop a strategic defense that protects your rights and minimizes potential consequences.

In addition to handling firearm charges, we also assist clients in navigating the firearm licensing process. Massachusetts has a multi-tiered licensing system, including Firearm Identification Cards (FID) and License to Carry (LTC), both of which require a deep understanding of eligibility requirements and procedural nuances that can vary from town to town. If you’ve been denied a license, need assistance with renewals, or are dealing with license revocation issues, our team can guide you through the appeals process and advocate on your behalf.

Moreover, as experts in Second Amendment rights, we stay updated on the latest legislative developments and court decisions affecting firearm owners. We are prepared to address any legal questions or challenges that arise from the complex intersection of state and federal firearms laws. Whether you are a first-time gun owner facing licensing questions, an experienced collector, or someone dealing with a criminal charge, we have the expertise to offer effective representation tailored to your specific circumstances.

When facing a firearm-related issue in Massachusetts, having a knowledgeable and tenacious legal team on your side can make a significant difference. At Milligan & Higgins, we are dedicated to upholding your rights, providing sound legal guidance, and working diligently to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
