Gun and Firearm Defense Lawyers in Minnesota
Although carrying a gun or other firearm weapon is legal according to the U.S. Supreme Court, many lawful owners are falsely accused of violating laws regarding possession and face criminal charges as a result.

This is why you need the tough and experienced gun crime defense lawyers at Sieben Edmunds Miller in Eagan defending you against charges that could land you in prison for years, even decades.
