Weapon laws can be hard to follow. There are specific laws for specific types of weapons, and a carrier must not only understand what weapons they are allowed to have, but also how to handle and use them. Misusing a weapon and owning a weapon without a permit are just a few examples of how an individual can disobey the weapon laws in Connecticut, and possibly face weapon violation charges.
Weapon charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies. This means that the bail bond is determined on a case by case basis, since misdemeanors tend to have smaller bail bonds than felonies (more serious crimes). When deciding on a bail bond for an individual’s specific case, a judge will look at the following:
The incident. Was the suspect using the weapon in a way that is violent against another person? What was the intent?
Weapon history. Did the suspect have a license for this weapon that they were carrying? If so, how long have they had the license/permit?
Past history. Has the suspect had any weapon violations before? Does the suspect have a criminal record?
The bail schedule. A bail schedule is meant to give a bail bond amount for each common crime to speed up the process. However, a judge can increase this amount at a bail hearing, if he/she feels it is necessary.
When it comes to a weapon violation bail bond, the process is relatively easy. A family member or close friend will typically reach out to a professional bail bondsman in the area. This company can be recommended by the suspect’s lawyer, or found from a basic search. Once an individual reaches contact with the bail bondsman, he/she will be asked to fill out a number of forms. This includes the defendant authorization form, payment agreement contract, and a credit card payment contract. These papers essentially allow the bail bondsman to take over the process, and outline a written agreement for how payment will be taken care of. Once all the paperwork necessary goes through and the bond is verified, the suspect will be released from police custody to await trial.
