Types of Silencer Possession in the State of California
There are two primary types of “possession” in the state of California. Individuals in Los Angeles can face criminal charges if they are accused of either kind of possession. Depending on the situation, the court uses PC 33410 charges to prosecute:
Actual Possession of a Silencer
Some individuals face PC 33410 charges for the actual possession of a silencer. Actual possession means an individual has the silencer on their person or within easy reach. For example, someone would have “actual possession” of a silencer if the item was in a backpack they were wearing.
Constructive Possession of a Silencer
Constructive possession can occur even if you do not have a silencer on your person. For example, an individual who keeps a silencer in a gun case in their home would have constructive possession of the item. Call (310) 997-4688 to talk to a member of the Simmrin Law Group today.
