• Manufacturing of firearms
• Using a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Brandishing a firearm

Penalties

In general, any time a firearm is transported or delivered across state lines, a violation of a gun law becomes a federal crime. Penalties for violations of federal weapons laws include a prison sentence of at least ten years and fines as high as $250,000.

There is a three year minimum mandatory prison sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Florida has also enacted a 10/20/Life policy that has had enormous ramifications when a firearm is used in the commission of a crime. This means that if the offender has a gun during commission of a crime, the mandatory minimum sentence is 10 years; if the weapon is fired during a crime the minimum sentence is 20 years, and if someone is injured or killed by the weapon during a crime, the mandatory minimum is 25 years to life in prison.
