Improper Exhibition of a Weapon

Miami Improper Exhibition of a Weapon Criminal Defense Attorney

Florida strictly regulates firearm and weapon use, including the mere display of weapons. Except in self-defense, you may not brandish a weapon in a rude or threatening manner. This includes guns and firearms as well as knives, swords and other dangerous weapons. Exhibition of a weapon in an improper manner is a first-degree misdemeanor penalized by up to a year in prison. Unfortunately, state law on this topic is broad, prohibiting exhibiting a weapon “in a rude, careless, angry or threatening manner,” which may well result in an arrest for innocent behavior. To avoid serious consequences from what may have been a simple mistake, you should talk to a Fort Lauderdale improper exhibition of a weapon lawyer as early in your case as possible.
