New York State is known for its tough prosecution of weapons crimes. In 2019 there were 2,784 firearm arrests alone – and those were related just to violent crimes. Charges for illegal possession or use of a weapon are very serious and are often compounded by other types of accusations, such as assault, public endangerment, burglary and homicide. Criminal possession of firearms and other dangerous weapons are identified under Article 265 of New York’s penal code. They include, but are not limited to:

  • Firearms and silencers.
  • Handguns.
  • Knives.
  • Explosive weapons and improvised explosive devices.
  • Armor-piercing ammunition.
  • Brass knuckles, and more.
