Ask your lawyer... because you ARE going to need one. They will know all the details of your charges. As far as I know... use of a firearm in the commission of a crime carries a manditory minimum of 5 years on its own... in addition to the penalty for the actual crime. And a fake gun if represented as a real gun during the crime.. counts just like a real gun would.

What state and country did this occur in? ( I was assuming somewhere in the USA)
