South Florida Attorney for Weapons Violation Cases
Florida criminal statutes define a concealed weapon as almost any “deadly weapon” that can be carried on a person, concealed or not easily visible by another person. It does not necessarily have to be a firearm-- a deadly weapon could be a knife, 'carried on a person in such a manner as to conceal the weapon from the sight’ of another person.' Or, it could be determined that the knife was NOT a deadly weapon: it all depends upon the determination of law.

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution clearly provides for an individual’s right to possess a firearm:
“A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
It sound simple enough, however the Federal Government and State of Florida have enacted complex layers of statutes and regulations concerning virtually all aspects of gun and weapons possession and ownership. If you are facing a firearms or weapons charge, it is extremely serious under Florida criminal laws, with serious penalties to match if you are found guilty: carrying a concealed, unlicensed firearm is a 3rd degree Felony, with a maximum penalty of 5 years in jail plus a $5,000 fine.
If you are charged with any kind of firearms or weapons charge, you’ll want a Florida defense attorney who has successfully defended firearms and weapons charges before.
