In the State of Florida, weapons charges are serious crimes.  It is illegal to conceal a firearm without a proper license, but if you have the proper permit you may carry a concealed firearm.  However, even when you have a license, violating any restriction may result in you still facing legal obstacles, including criminal charges.

Being arrested with a firearm without the proper permit or license is a whole different situation. The ramifications of weapons charges under this condition is extremely serious; especially if you are arrested with firearm during the course of another crime.

In 1999 the State of Florida, in an effort to be a pioneering State in reducing and eventually eliminating violent crimes involving firearms, passed and entered into law the 10-20-Life Statue included in 775.087 which stipulates:

  • A minimum 10 year prison term for certain felonies, or attempted felonies in which the offender possesses a firearm or destructive device;

  • A minimum 20 year prison term when the firearm is discharged;

  • A minimum 25 years to LIFE if someone is injured or killed;

  • A minimum 3 year prison term for possession of a firearm by a felon;

  • The minimum prison term is to be served consecutively to any other term of imprisonment imposed.
