There are many laws and regulations however, that determine when a person can own a weapon, what kinds of weapons they can own and when and where they can carry these weapons. There are certain situations in fact, that if a weapon is fired or even simply on your possession can result in a serious criminal penalty, especially in the commission of any other criminal act.
