Weapons Charges

The Law Offices of Richard R. Kuritz
Weapons Charges Defense Attorneys in Florida

In the state of Florida, those who illegally possess weapons such as knives or handguns are susceptible to arrest and weapons charges. Additionally, people face weapon charges if they engage in selling weapons, distributing weapons, or manufacturing weapons. Weapons charges also apply to those accused of other crimes, such as a violent crime, while possessing a weapon.
Florida Criminal Charges Involving Handguns

According to Florida law, all handguns must be licensed and registered. If a handgun is not properly licensed and registered, it is classified as an illegal weapon, and anyone carrying an illegal firearm can be arrested and charged with a weapon offense. The weapon does not need to be found on the person’s body. If the weapon is found near a person or on his/her property, that is sufficient evidence for an arrest on charges of constructive weapon possession or presumptive weapon possession.
