Whoa wait 10K for a misdemeanor? What’s the fine on unlawful carry if found guilty? In Idaho it’s far less than the 10K bond.

That’s just the bond amount. It is not uncommon for bonds to be set at higher than the maximum fine amount. The bond is to insure he’ll come back for court. If he pays a cash bond he loses the cash he put up if he doesn’t show up. If he goes through a bondsman like most people do the bondsman will go out looking for him if he doesn’t show up. Had he have been from Denver the bond might have been lower. But he’s from out of state and therefore more of a flight risk.
