Unlawful Possession of a Firearm in Miami, Florida

Firearms are defined under Florida law, including in that of Miami, as weapons that fire bullets, or ammunition. A weapon is any type of object that is used for threatening or harming another individual. It can be a felony in Miami and the entire State of Florida to possess a weapon or firearm without the proper license or documentation. If you do have a valid firearm license, that alone will not prevent you entirely from the possibility of being charged in this manner, as there are restrictions to the license that must be followed in order for the possession of the firearm to be legal and authorized, including how to transport it, and where to transport it.

There are a few common ways in which people in Miami Dade County are charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, the most typical situations including:

• possessing a firearm without a valid license or valid permit
• possessing a firearm in violation of State of Florida law
• possessing a firearm in violation of Federal, USA law
• possessing a particular type of firearm that has been banned in Florida

If you or a loved one is facing charges of these kind, do not take the matter lightly, as weapons and firearm offenses are some of the most important types of offenses that prosecutors seek to follow through with as preventative measures to the fear of the unknown types of situations that the public thinks could occur later on due to the illegal possession of the firearm.

Felon in Possession of a Weapon or Firearm Charge

Florida law prevents anyone with a prior felony conviction to possess a weapon or firearm. A felon in possession of a firearm is a specific type of unlawful possession of a firearm charge that is simply committed by a person who has been convicted of a felony in Miami, elsewhere in Florida, or even across the USA. This criminal charge is serious and is a felony which could result in prison time separate from whatever your original crime of a felony was. If you are on parole or probation, the new charge could be a parole violation or probation violation and if convicted of the new charge of felon in possession of a firearm or weapon, that new conviction could trigger your conviction in the older case and also cause you to do the earlier cases’s back up jail sentence, apart from the new sentence charge from the unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon offense in Miami.
