Weapons & Firearm Offences Lawyer

Trafficking or smuggling firearms is among the most aggressively prosecuted offences in Canada, often attracting mandatory minimum sentences and significant media scrutiny. These charges typically involve complex investigations, surveillance, border security protocols, or undercover operations. Our defence focuses on identifying breaches of Charter rights, dissecting the quality of surveillance evidence, and establishing distance between the accused and the actual movement or possession of weapons. When the stakes are high, precision in defence is critical—from the validity of search warrants to the credibility of confidential informants.

Popular questions

What’s the difference between firearms possession and trafficking?

Possession means having control over a weapon. Trafficking involves transferring, offering to transfer, or transporting firearms—often with much harsher penalties.

Not always. Some minimums have been struck down by the courts, and in certain cases, sentencing alternatives may still be possible with strong advocacy.
Yes. Smuggling is just one form of trafficking. Even domestic transfers or arrangements involving others can lead to charges depending on the evidence.
We examine how the weapons were discovered, whether you had actual or constructive possession, and whether your rights were violated during the investigation. Surveillance and search warrants are often key battlegrounds.
