Yeah, wait until traffic violations become felonies and you lose your right to own firearms because of a speeding ticket or failure to stop at a stop sign. Think it can't happen? It can happen if you tresspass on a construction site. It can also happen if you take a fire extinguisher from a motel. Felonies are no longer reserved for the SERIOUS crimes they used to be reserved for. And becoming a felon, regardless of WHY takes away your right to own or even touch a firearm.
I've attached a PDF file of all arrestable offenses in the state of Florida (which obviously do not include federal crimes.
The chart is interpreted with the following field entries:
Each listing in the statute table contains:
- The Florida Statute Number.
- The Florida Statute Subsection (if any).
- The appropriate four digit AON/FCIC
uniform offense numeric code.
- The Level (Misdemeanor/Felony)
of the offense.
- The Degree ([b]F</b>irst/Second/Third/Capital/Life) of the offense.
- A Juvenile indicator code. J -- A juvenile who is charged with one of these offenses must be fingerprinted and the fingerprints sent to FDLE. These offenses include all felonies and a
number of misdemeanors specified by the Florida Statutes. N -- This
identifies those misdemeanors for which
a juvenile may be fingerprinted. These fingerprints may
be forwarded to FDLE and become part of the
Computerized Criminal History database.
- The AON/FCIC standard charge description.
- An expanded description of the
statute offense.
