Firearm & Weapon Crimes

In the State of Florida, firearms and weapons crimes are taken extremely seriously. While it is legal to possess a gun with the correct licensing and documentation, without those, one runs the risk of facing serious jail time. Gun crimes are taken so seriously that a legislation was enacted in an attempt to decrease firearm crimes by placing higher prison sentences on certain crimes.

Those committing felonies or attempted felonies that involve a firearm are given a minimum 10 year sentence in Florida prison. Those committing crimes where a firearm was discharged will face a minimum of 20 years in prison. And crimes committed with a firearm where someone was injured or killed will receive a minimum of 25 years to life in Florida prison.

Illegal Firearm & Weapon Possession

The illegal possession of a firearm or weapon in Florida comes with severe consequences. The rules around weapons possession are strict and the courts are not very forgiving. In Florida, the following rules apply to firearm possession:

• No person who has a history with substance abuse or is deemed a vagrant or mentally incompetent may possess a firearm or weapon.
• No person who is subject to an active domestic violence injunction or charge may possess a firearm.
• No person who has been convicted of a felony may legally possess a weapon or firearm, unless his or her civil rights have been restored.
• No person under the age of 16 can legally possess a firearm, unless the gun is not loaded, at a residence, and the underage person is under the supervision of a parent or guardian.

Concealed Weapons

In the State of Florida, one must obtain a specific permit to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon. Without the permit and license, carrying a firearm or weapon is highly illegal and the consequences are largely unforgiving. The concealed weapon attorneys at the RAIN Law Firm will fight for a reduced sentence.
