Being charged with a weapons charge in the State of Florida is a serious matter, as Florida has installed, and relentlessly tries to impose the 10/20/Life penalty. Escalating violent crimes involving guns prompted lawmakers to institute this policy as a gun deterrent.

The 10/20/Life policy for a weapons charge conviction is enforced as follows

• 10 Years (minimum) mandatory sentence for possession a gun during the commission of a crime;
  
  
• 20 Years (minimum) sentence for firing a gun during the commission of a crime;
  
  
• 25 Years to life (minimum) sentence for shooting a person during the course of a crime.
  
  

The common types of weapons and gun charges include, but are not limited to:

• Unlawful Possession of a Firearm
  
  
• Illegal Sale of a Weapon
  
  
• Unlawful Discharge of a firearm
  
  
• Weapons / Gun Trafficking & Smuggling
  
  

The use of a firearm, or having a firearm in your possession during the commision of a crime may escallate the degree of crime you are charged with as well.
