Gun Charges In Nashville , Tennessee

I am a huge Tennessee Titans fan. It's sweet to be going back to the playoffs. Most NFL fans have been following the story out of New York about Plaxico Burress and his weapons charge. As a criminal attorney, there seems to be a whole lot going on that the media hasn't reported. In Tennessee , we have several criminal laws dealing with possession of handguns. It is a criminal offense to possess a firearm where beer or alcohol is consumed. It is also a felony charge to a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. It is also a federal offense as well. I have read that Plaxico stands to lose 20 million dollars if convicted of this gun charge. If your convicted , you just lose your freedom.
