Weapons on School Grounds
California takes violence in schools seriously and generally has a zero-tolerance policy. This includes cases of carrying unauthorized weapons onto school grounds. If you are facing charges for carrying weapons on school grounds, one of your top priorities should be to seek the help of an expert criminal defense attorney. Having a criminal record will negatively impact your future employment and housing choices. An offense involving a combination of schools and weapons could potentially affect any academic goals you might have.
It will also have a drastic effect on how law enforcement treats you. Regardless of whether it’s a misdemeanor or felony, if a weapons offense is listed, law enforcement will use extra caution when interacting with you. That is why it is highly recommended you find a defense attorney who fully understands this statute. For a better understanding of this law, let’s take a look at how California defines it.
