A Lubbock student weapons defense attorney can help a student fight on-campus gun charges by examining the many issues of the charge and laws. Questions that your student weapons defense attorney in Lubbock will likely ask will include:
- Did the student mean to bring a weapon on campus?
- Did the student know they had a weapon?
- Was the student in possession of the weapon?
Additional questions can be asked about the weapon itself, for example:
- Was the weapon a knife?
- Was it used as a weapon?
- Is it used for hunting and not necessarily protection?
Sometimes, especially at Texas Tech, there are hunting issues that can accidentally lead to these charges. For example, there have been cases where a student came back from dove hunting. Did not realize they still had their shotgun underneath the seat of the truck until after they came on the Lubbock campus.
With this new law, there are issues coming up like the legality of having the gun in a certain part of the university. The person forgot they had it when they went in there. That is the challenge from the defense standpoint, but our Lubbock student weapons defense lawyers are up to the task.
