Just to clarify a little, in Florida you don't need anything to have a gun in your own home - no permit, registration, etc. That being said, this 'gentleman' was a convicted felon. In Florida, a convicted felon IS NOT allowed to have a firearm of any kind. Thus he was arrested for having a gun in his possession in the home. Had he not been a convicted felon, there would have been no 'gun possession' offense other than stupidity - and I don't think that one is a chargeable offense, but maybe it should be.
