Criminal charges involving firearms and other weapons have the potential to be extremely serious.

Possible Penalties for Firearm Charges
Most firearm offenses are felonies under Florida law. Carrying a concealed firearm, for example, is a third degree felony and is punishable by up to 5 years in state prison and a fine of up to $5,000. The many other criminal charges which may be associated with firearms, such as aggravated assault, aggravated battery, battery on a law enforcement officer, murder, and robbery, all have the potential to be extremely serious and result in years or even life in prison if the defendant is convicted.
Under Florida's 10-20-Life law, offenders who brandish or discharge a firearm in the commission of a crime may face mandatory minimum sentences of 10 years or 20 years, respectively. Using a gun and injuring or killing a victim in the commission of a crime is punishable by 25 years to life.
