The Florida legislature has introduced very strict penalties for weapons offenses. Misdemeanor assault or battery charges are instantly enhanced to felonies if the accused used a weapon. The enhancements are even more extreme if the accused was in possession of or used a firearm. 10-20-Life The Florida legislature has made popular the “10-20-Life” gun laws. If you or a loved one is accused of committing a felony with a firearm the law mandates a 10 year minimum-mandatory prison sentence. If one is accused of firing the gun during the commission of a felony the law mandates a 20 year minimum-mandatory prison sentence. And if another person is shot during the commission of a felony the penalty jumps to 25 years up to life in prison.There is also a minimum mandatory sentence of 3 years in prison if accused of assaulting (threatening) another with a firearm.
