If you drop a firearm, you should reference which Florida statute?

• A. Section 790.174 F.S.
• B. Section 810.08 F.S.
• C. Section 100.50 F.S.
• D. Section 120.53 F.S.

Answer: (A)

Safe handling of firearms is being tested. Dropping a firearm shows unsafe handling, which Florida law seeks to prevent through its safe storage/handling provisions. That’s why the statute that addresses safe storage and careless or negligent handling of firearms applies here. It covers actions like dropping a firearm and the responsibility to handle and store weapons safely. The other statutes address topics such as trespass, education-related provisions, or administrative procedures, none of which cover firearm safety or negligent handling.
