Description:
Macon, Georgia criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with possessing a firearm as a felon,
in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2).
In December 2021, someone fired eleven gunshots into Gabriel Brown's house while Brown and some guests were inside. In response Brown jumped out of his chair, grabbed a firearm, went on his front porch, and saw the taillights of a car stopped at an intersection in his manufactured home community. He believed the shooter was in that car so he fired at least four gunshots at it. The car sped away.
As a result of that conduct and the fact that Brown had previously been convicted of several Georgia felony cocaine offenses, the government charged him with possessing a firearm as a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). He pleaded guilty to that offense and was sentenced to 70 months imprisonment.
The Defendant claimed that 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional
in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2).
