PENALTY ENHANCEMENT FOR WEAPON POSSESSION

Any person who, while committing or attempting to commit a crime

of violence, discharges a firearm, in addition to the penalty

provided by statute for the crime of violence committed or

attempted, upon conviction, may be charged, in the discretion of the

district attorney, with an additional felony for possessing such

weapon, which shall be a separate offense punishable, upon

conviction, by not less than ten (10) years in the custody of the

Department of Corrections which may be served concurrently with the

sentence for the crime of violence. For purposes of this section,

“crime of violence” means an offense that is a felony and has as an

element of the offense, the use, attempted use, or threatened use of

physical force against the person of another or that by its nature

involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person

of another may be used in the course of committing the offense. For

purposes of this section, “firearm” means a rifle, pistol or

shotgun.
