It’ll end up costing you ten grand just to dismiss the “wobbler” charge that’ll make you a felon if you get caught carrying. Better be discreet if you decide to risk it.
Better yet, use the money that you would be defending yourself with and move the hell out of California to someplace that still has liberty.
I’d love to, but Mom’s 81 yrs and needs my help and Wife won’t leave the Grandchild. And unless something drastic changed I don’t think you get a Felony rap first offense with a clean record. Years ago had a discussion with a Cop at 3am, don’t ask. My friends Wife had a toy souvenir baseball bat from the Angels in the back seat, we discussed how a loaded gun in the car was a misdemeanor while the toy bat in the front seat would be a felony. Screwed up or what?
