North Carolina General Statute 14-415.1(a) states, in part,

(a)        It shall be unlawful for any person who has been convicted of a felony to purchase, own, possess, or have in his custody, care, or control any firearm or any weapon of mass death and destruction as defined in G.S. 14-288.8(c). For the purposes of this section, a firearm is (i) any weapon, including a starter gun, which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive, or its frame or receiver, or (ii) any firearm muffler or firearm silencer. 

Furthermore, there may be other ways to fight your case if the search of your home, car, or person was unlawful and a violation of your state and federal constitutional rights. At Aberle & Wall, we make sure to cover as many possible defenses as you might have to help you win your case.
