Yes. There are several ways in which you can avoid jail or prison after being charged with unlawful possession of your Pennsylvania handgun. The primary way to accomplish this result is to obtain a Graves Act waiver that takes you outside the mandatory incarceration and parole ineligibility requirements of this law. The second option for escaping jail is by obtaining a dismissal of the gun charge based on preemption, a search and seizure violation or some other legal argument that invalidates the offense. The final avenue for you to obtain a non-custodial result is by securing Pretrial Intervention, commonly referred to as PTI.
