Generally the penalties imposed by a court for a first offence are less than for repeat offenders. The reasons for a reduction in penalty may include:
- Good character
- Need for rehabilitation
- Greater remorse
- Extra curial punishment – The effect that a harsh penalty may have upon someone’s employment, travel and membership with associations
It is possible for all offenders charged with firearm and weapons to avoid a criminal conviction if the court makes an order under section 10 Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act. However, a first offender is far more likely to receive a section 10 than a repeat offender.
If you would like us to advise you on your chances of obtaining a section 10 for a firearm and weapons offence, please contact us.
