¶1We have for review the decision in Ferry v. State, 701 So.2d 660 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), which the district court certified to be in conflict with the opinion in Galloway v. State, 680 So.2d 616 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996), concerning the issue of whether additional sentencing points for carrying or possessing a firearm during the commission of a crime may be added to a defendant’s sentencing score where the defendant is convicted of carrying a concealed weapon or possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.
¶2Recently, we resolved this conflict in White v. State, 689 So.2d 371 (Fla.1998), wherein we held that it is error for a trial court to assess additional sentencing points for possessing a firearm where the sole underlying crime is carrying a concealed firearm or possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. In other words, rule 3.702(d)(12) of the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure and section 921.0014, Florida Statutes (1993), do not contemplate the addition of sentencing points for carrying or possessing a firearm where the carrying or possession of a firearm is the essential element of the underlying offense. In so holding, we approved the Fourth District’s opinion in Gallowayand quashed the Second District’s decision in White v. State, 689 So.2d 371 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997).
¶3Therefore, in accordance with our opinion in White, we quash the district court’s decision in Ferry.
¶4It is so ordered.
