If you own a weapon, the state of Florida strictly regulates how and when you may use or showcase that weapon. If you brandish your weapon in a rude, angry or aggressive manner, you can be arrested and charged with a first-degree misdemeanor. The statute is written very broadly; displaying your weapon in any fashion other than self defense may result in your arrest. This makes the police officer’s subjective judgment paramount, opening many avenues for abuses. However, a smart Fort Lauderdale improper exhibition of a weapon criminal defense lawyer knows this also opens many avenues for possible defenses.
