Remember though that in the State of FL if you are convicted of a crime involving a firearm there is a MANDATORY 3 YEAR MINIMUM sentence for each charge. It's not judge or jury discretion when it comes to sentencing.. That's why a plea is more and more likely.. It doesn't matter if shots were fired or not, simply having a firearm is grounds for this law to be enforced.

** Corrected to 3 years **

The Florida Mandatory Minimum is 3 years. Just hope the prosecution doesn't have some wild card up their sleeve.

Easy way to avoid worrying about the mandatory sentence is to not carry a gun and wave it at someone. Why the hell is Taylor carrying a gun around for?
