Ruane DUI & Criminal Defense Attorneys

Many firearm offenses are felonies. For example, committing an assault on another person while holding or using a firearm automatically makes that offense more serious. Similarly, committing a robbery or burglary while holding a gun also brings potential enhanced penalties. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53a-216 imposes a five-year non-suspendable sentence for using a firearm during the commission of any other class A, B, or C felony.
