Often, people arrested for an OWI with a legally concealed firearm on their person or in their vehicle will also face criminal charges for Intoxicated Possession of a Firearm. Even if a firearm is not on your person, you can face these charges if the firearm is in an area over which you exert physical control, such as in your vehicle or even in your home.  An intoxicated possession of a firearm charge does not require that you have the firearm outside of your home.  You can be charged with this offense if you are intoxicated at home.

You Are Only Guilty If You Are Convicted

If you have been charged with a criminal offense, whether it’s a felony or a misdemeanor, or if you’re under a restraining order, your 2nd Amendment rights are in imminent danger. Federal and State law allows the government to look 'beyond the mere facts of conviction' and to the various documents and proceedings to establish the facts necessary to strip you of your firearm rights for life. In short, you could lose these rights for life without ever having been told. Worse yet, you may think you are protecting these rights, but in reality, something happens in your case and your firearm rights are gone forever. Even if you are just being investigated for a crime or were arrested on a completely unrelated offense, your case could come to bear on your 2nd Amendment rights. There are so many laws and so many ways in which your rights could be suspended or upended.
