How do I Beat my Firearm Charges?
There are several potential defences to firearm charges, such as:
Charter: if the police breach your Charter rights, you can bring an application to exclude the firearm.
Knowledge: the Crown must prove knowledge and control of the firearm. For example, if a firearm is located inside a motor vehicle, everybody in the vehicle will be charged, but they may defend their charges on the basis that they did not know a firearm was present in the vehicle.
Is the firearm operational: the Crown must prove that the firearm was operation or can easily be made operational. Sometimes, a firearm is broken or missing parts and therefore the Crown cannot prove an essential element of the offence.
