Understanding The Different Types Of Gun Charges
Most gun offenses are categorized as felonies. Penalties for a conviction, therefore, are very strict. The following are examples of weapon-related charges:
- Possession of an illegal firearm is a serious, yet common, weapon charge in Florida. Penalties will depend on the scenario surrounding the offense and any aggravating factors involved.
- Carrying a concealed weapon is a misdemeanor of the first degree. People who carry a concealed firearm can be charged with a felony of the third degree.
- Sale and delivery of firearms is discussed in § 790.065 of the Florida Statutes. Only licensed manufacturers can sell or deliver to another licensed individual.
Prosecutors have little tolerance for people who commit gun-related crimes because of the risk these offenses pose to the public.
