Secure Quick Release When Charged With Weapons Crimes

Weapon charges come with serious consequences in Florida. As of 1999, the 10-20-Life law enacted minimum sentence requirements for the possession of a firearm in the act of a crime. Even if the gun does not get used, the offender gets a mandatory 10-year sentence. Twenty years become the minimum if the gun gets fired, and if someone gets injured or killed, the sentence becomes 25 to life.

With such seriousness attached to weapons crimes, offenders need a bail bondsman they can trust. At Ammediate Bail Bonds, we’re here to provide bail to anyone incarcerated on a weapons charge. If you or someone you know needs bail for possession of a firearm in Cocoa, FL, or bail for any other weapons charges, contact Ammediate Bail Bonds today at (321) 631-2663.

Possession of a Firearm and Other Charges

In the state of Florida, certain individuals cannot possess firearms. If you fall into one of four categories, the simple possession of a gun can land you in jail.

Convicted Felons: In Florida, anyone convicted of a felony loses their right to possess a firearm.

Restraining Order: If you currently have a restraining order for stalking or harassment, you cannot possess a gun.

Fugitives: Obviously, anyone on the run from the law cannot possess a gun. This charge will be added to any other pending charges.

Domestic Violence: Finally, anyone convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence loses the right to own a gun.

Carrying a Concealed Weapon and Other Charges

Florida allows people to carry concealed weapons so long as they have a Concealed Weapons Permit. Anyone caught with a concealed weapon who lacks this permit can find themselves facing third-degree felony charges. Other types of concealed weapons, such as knives, result in a first-degree misdemeanor. Other weapons charges that carry the threat of jail include:

  • Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm
  • Illegal Sale of a Firearm
  • Use of a Firearm While Intoxicated
  • Brandishing a Firearm
  • Juvenile in Possession of a Firearm
  • Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon
