The Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to bear and use arms in lawful situations. However, you can still face criminal charges if you discharge a weapon, even in self-defense. Our Second Amendment lawyers can help you assert your rights and protect your future from the devastating consequences of a conviction.

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution preserves the right for individuals to “ keep and bear Arms” without infringement. While some statutory limitations exist, it is critical to preserve the right to lawful gun ownership and to protect individuals who are charged with a crime in violation of their civil rights.

What are my constitutional gun rights under the Second Amendment?

The text of the Second Amendment reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This might mean different things to different people.

The Supreme Court of the United States has weighed in, providing that the Second Amendment plainly “protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with services in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes.” The Supreme Court has also held that cities and states cannot pass laws to infringe on an individual’s right to bear arms.

However, limitations to the right to bear arms do exist. States can pass laws to ensure guns are used for lawful purposes. If you want to protect yourself proactively, consider becoming a member of 2A Legal, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping victims of Second Amendment rights violations.
