Health & Safety Code 11370.1 makes it illegal to have possession of a controlled substance (illegal drugs or narcotics) while you are armed with a gun or firearm. A conviction in court is a felony and subjects one to sentencing of up to 4 years in jail or California state prison. However, there are a number of defenses that a good criminal attorney can assert that may lead to the Health & Safety Code 11370.1 HS charges getting reduced or even dismissed. These include taking the position that the police discovered the drugs or firearm by way of an illegal search and seizure (in violation of your 4th Amendment rights). In these cases, the defense lawyer can make a motion to suppress evidence. if successful, this will cause the evidence to be thrown out of court. It may also be a case where the gun or drugs didn't belong to the person who got charged with the crime.
