If that is all the Commonwealth has, you have a good case. However, there is obviously more to it than simply finding a gun next to your house. You beat a gun charge by having a good lawyer and good facts. You can't control the facts, but you can control who you hire. Hire a good criminal defense lawyer. In fact, with a gun charge, you should be hiring the best lawyer you can afford. Many gun charges carry mandatory jail sentences.
