Second Amendment Issues

Guns laws, both State and Federal, are extensive and complicated. California is among the most restrictive in the US, frequently putting gun owners at risk. Chris Cosca has defended many gun owners in both Federal and State trials. If you are a California gun owner who has been arrested for a criminal offense involving weapons or explosives, or who is being investigated by law enforcement, the DOJ (California Department of Justice), the ATF (Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives), or if you are buying or opening a firearms business, there are unique and complex legal issues best handled by an attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable in firearms law. If you have legal matters, owning or being in possession of firearms will be an issue and you will need expert legal advice about how to protect your 2nd amendment rights and property.
