Firearm offenses

Florida law—under Chapter 790 and sentencing statutes in Chapter 775—defines various firearm-related offenses, including unlawful possession, carrying concealed weapons, and use of a weapon in a violent felony. These offenses carry severe mandatory minimum sentences under the “10‑20‑Life” statute, Florida Statute 775.087, and other penalty statutes such as 790.23 for felon-in-possession
