Hackensack Certain Persons Attorney Adam M. Lustberg Discusses “Certain Persons Not to Have Weapons” Charges

Hackensack certain persons attorney Adam M. Lustberg releases a new article (https://www.lustberglaw.com/certain-persons-offense-attorney/) explaining “Certain Persons Not to Have Weapons” Charges in Bergen County, Essex County & Passaic County, New Jersey. The lawyer mentions that New Jersey has the N.J.S.A. 2C.39-7 Gun ownership is prohibited for convicted felons, misdemeanor offenders, drug users, and those with certain mental illnesses.

"An individual commits a Certain Persons offense when they are classified as not being allowed to possess firearms or other weapons and are then caught in possession of such a weapon. If you meet the criteria for a Certain Person offense and are caught with a firearm or other weapon, you can be charged with both unlawful possession of a weapon and a Certain Persons offense," says the Hackensack certain persons attorney.

The lawyer explains that licenses for firearm permits are not available to individuals who have been convicted of certain criminal offenses or are suffering from a particular mental illness. If they are caught carrying a gun and fall within the category of persons who are not permitted to own a firearm they can be charged with unlawful possession of a weapon as well as a personal offense.

Attorney Adam M. Lustberg says that gun owners who are covered by the Certain Persons Act regarding the prohibition on gun possession have been convicted for crimes such as homicide, aggravated assault, arson, burglary, extortion, child endangerment, domestic violence, domestic harassment, stalking, and any weapons offenses.

In the article, attorney Lustberg also adds that those who have been previously committed to a psychiatric hospital or mental institution, who have been convicted of the use, possession, or sale of a controlled dangerous substance, or who are under court order not to possess a firearm are legally prohibited from possessing a gun in New Jersey.

Attorney Adam M. Lustberg says, "A Certain Persons grading often depends upon the nature of the weapon possessed. If a certain person is caught with a weapon other than a firearm, it is a fourth-degree offense. If the weapon possessed is a handgun or any other firearm, it is a second-degree offense; however, if the conviction is for a disorderly person offense involving domestic violence, it is a third-degree offense."

Lastly, attorney Lustberg emphasizes the importance of having a skilled lawyer when it comes to matters such as being charged with “certain persons” offenses. An experienced lawyer may be able to help the defendant protect their rights and their freedom.
