The supreme court reasoned that because the evidence would have supported a finding of attempted aggravated battery, and because the charge under section 790.07 could be sustained where the jury found that there was unlawful possession of a firearm while engaged in an attempt to commit the felony, it followed that there was no necessary inconsistency between the acquittal of aggravated battery and the conviction on the unlawful possession of firearm charge....

Thus, notwithstanding the clearly-expressed contrary intent of the legislature, and, in many cases, of the jury as well, § 790.07 has judicially been rendered entirely ineffective. [3] This case is thus entirely distinguishable from McCray v. State, 397 So.2d 1229 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981). There, verdicts of not guilty of the underlying felony of aggravated assault and guilty of violating § 790.07(2) were held not inconsistent because the latter conviction could have been based on an attempted aggravated assault and the jury was not charged on attempt as a lesser offense of the substantive charge....

In its analysis in Gibson the supreme court points out that section 790.07(2) proscribes *800 two separate and distinct offenses "which are: (1) use, display, or attempt or threat to use a firearm while committing a felony and (2) carrying a concealed firearm while committing a felony." 452 So.2d at 554-555 n....
...1. The court then assumes, for various stated reasons, that Gibson is charged with "use or display" rather than the second discrete offense defined by the statute. Since the robbery statute comprehends simply carrying a weapon whereas that aspect of section 790.07(2) involved in Gibson contemplates "use and display" the court then moved to the conclusion that neither offense was a lesser included offense of the other so that multiple convictions and punishments were not prohibited. We have some difficulty with this analysis. The essence of the distinction between the two offenses, as we understand the language of the case, is that the constituent statutory element required to be proved to convict for a violation of section 790.07(2) and not required to be proved to convict for a violation of section 812.13(1) and (2) is "use and display" of the firearm....

...In view of the difficulty we encounter in applying Gibson to the facts of the present case we certify to the Supreme Court of Florida the following question as one of great public importance: IN THE WAKE OF STATE V. GIBSON, 452 So.2d 553 (FLA. 1984), MAY AN OFFENSE PROSCRIBED BY SECTION 790.07(2), FLORIDA STATUTES, EVER BE CONSIDERED A LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSE OF THE PROSCRIPTION OF SECTION 812.13(1) AND (2), FLORIDA STATUTES? The appellant here, as indicated earlier, is similarly charged with violations of both section 812.13(1) and (2) and section 790.07(2). Rather than being charged either with "use or display, etc." or being charged with "carrying a concealed firearm" under section 790.07(2) the information *801 charges both; i.e., that appellant did "display, use, threaten to use, or attempt to use a firearm, or carry a concealed firearm, to-wit: a handgun while committing or attempting to commit a felony, to-wit: robbery, contrary to F.S. 790.07(2) and F.S....

State v. Fuller, 455 So. 2d 357 (Fla. 1984).

Published | Supreme Court of Florida | 1984 Fla. LEXIS 3284

McDonald, justice. In a two-count information the state charged Fuller with second-degree felony murder under section 782.04, Florida Statutes (1979), and unlawful display of a firearm during commission of a felony under section 790.07, Florida Statutes (1979)....
...On appeal the district court vacated Fuller’s sentence for display of a firearm, finding that crime to be a lesser included offense of second-degree felony murder. Fuller v. State, 414 So.2d 264, 266 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982). We recently held that a firearms charge pursuant to section 790.07 is not a lesser included offense of first-degree murder....

PER CURIAM. James Anthony Pridgen has appealed his conviction of two counts of displaying a firearm during the commission of a felony, contrary to section 790.07(2), Florida Statutes (1989)....
...(1989). The charge against Pridgen was so enhanced. Pridgen argues on appeal that, when charges are enhanced based on the use of a firearm, use of the same firearm in committing the same offense cannot form the basis of a separate conviction under section 790.07(2), Florida Statutes (1989). 2 See Hall v. State, 517 So.2d 678 (Fla.1988); Cleveland v. State, 587 So.2d 1145 (Fla. 1991). The state concedes that Pridgen was improperly convicted under section 790.07(2), and asks that the case be remanded for vacation of those convictions and their respective sentences. Based on the foregoing authorities, and on the state’s concession of error, we reverse and remand for vacation only of the convictions and sentences under section 790.07(2)....
...JOANOS, C.J., and ERVIN and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur. . Aside from the two convictions herein appealed, Pridgen was convicted of resisting arrest without violence, armed robbery, battery on a law enforcement officer, and aggravated assault. Pridgen appeals only his convictions under section 790.07(2), and we do not intend by this opinion to disturb the remaining convictions....
