There are many criminal charges that can be brought against
someone for having firearms or deadly weapons. A concealed
weapon charge in Orange County is viewed as a very serious offense.
"Brandishing" a firearm or deadly weapon is the act
of drawing or exhibiting a firearm or weapon in a rude or threatening
manner. Simply showing a firearm requires a 30 day minimum
jail sentence. If the brandishing occurs in a public place
with a revolver or concealable handgun, the charge is a misdemeanor
with a minimum of 90 days in jail. If this conduct occurs
in the presence of a police officer, the punishment can include
prison time, in the worst case scenario, the police have guns
and are trained to use deadly force against you.
Carrying a weapon that is concealed in your vehicle can be charged
