Florida criminal law restricts the rights of convicted felons, including the right to bear arms. If you have been convicted of a felony in Florida, it is unlawful for you to possess a gun. Additionally, if you have been convicted of a felony in another jurisdiction (outside of Florida) that carried a possible sentence of more than one year in prison, you are not eligible to possess a gun in Florida. Likewise, if you were convicted as a minor of an act that would have been a felony if you were charged as an adult, you are not allowed to possess a gun. If you are caught with one in your possession (including in your home or vehicle), you could face prison and parole violations charges. To avoid these penalties, you should seriously consider speaking to a South Florida felon in possession of a firearm criminal defense lawyer.
