Carrying a concealed firearm and possession of marijuana...what am I looking at?

I was recently arrested with a concealed weapon charge (handgun with 3 bullets) and possession of marijuana (less than 3 grams). What will my punishment be?
FloridaDUIPRO.com answered: Assuming you have no prior criminal history, you are likely to receive
probation. Carrying a concealed firearm is a third-degree felony in
Florida, punishable by as much as five years in prison and as little as
probation (non-jail sentence). the marijuana charge is a misdemeanor
punishable by a maximum one-year in the county jail and as little as
probation (no jail time). Certainly if you have priors, your punishment
could be more severe.
