Summary
Currently 1447A punishes the possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony but does not differentiate between persons having a firearm in their possession and persons who use the firearm during the commission of a crime. This Act makes this distinction and provides enhanced penalties for those displaying and discharging a firearm, and causing serious physical injury to a non-participant during the commission of a crime. This Act further, like the current statute, provides enhanced penalties for those who have twice before been convicted of a felony in Delaware or elsewhere.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Penalties For Possession Of A Firearm During The Commission Of A Felony.
