Weapons charges can carry a minimum mandatory sentence, which means if convicted, you must serve a certain amount of your sentence day for day in Florida State Prison, including:

• Ten (10) years for the actual possession of a firearm;
  
• Twenty (20) years for the unlawful discharge of a firearm; and
  
• Twenty-five (25) years up to Life in prison for wounding or injuring any person with a firearm.
  

The Florida legislature recently enacted a 10/20/Life provision in an attempt to get tough on crimes involving firearms. Keep in mind that these sentences are the minimum mandatory sentence that will be imposed upon conviction, meaning that the court can not impose a lesser sentence.
