Weapons Offenses

Based on the nature of the allegations, prosecutors throughout Colorado treat all weapon charges seriously. Prosecutors and police charge and overcharge these types of cases to ensure that persons do not use or possess weapons in an unlawful manner. However, this aggressive approach to weapons offenses will often times overlap into areas in which a person has a legal right to use or possess a weapon. As noted previously, the police and prosecutors often do not care or are ignorant of the law related to weapon possession and use.

• Weapons charges include the following:
• Possession of a Concealed Weapon
• Possession of a Weapon by a Previous Offender (POWPOW or Felon in Possession)
• Menacing with a Deadly Weapon
• Possession of a Weapon While Intoxicate
• Sentencing Enhancements related to the use or possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime, including but not limited to distribution of a controlled substance.
