Gun Crime Defense refers to a specialized area of criminal defense law focused on representing individuals or entities charged with violations of local, state, or federal firearm laws. It involves strategic legal representation in cases related to the unlawful possession, use, sale, transport, discharge, or trafficking of firearms, including enhanced charges involving violent crimes, weapons enhancements, or federal firearms offenses.

Attorneys practicing gun crime defense aim to protect the Second Amendment rights of the accused, challenge the legality of searches and seizures, assess firearm ownership laws, and expose procedural violations or constitutional infractions that can impact the admissibility of evidence or the validity of charges.
