[QUOTE="pnuner, post: 2882551, member: 211"] That's similar to what happened to my son. It was in August also. It cost him $5,000 including lawyer and 24 hours in jail. Ended up being a misdemeanor charge of unlawful carry of a weapon. He was only 20 and had been carrying around the house. He forgot to take it off before he went to a nighttime college class that meet once a week. The week before apparently the only other student in the class (a female) had seen his empty holster and the next day reported him as carrying a gun. The next week the campus police called him out of class and searched him, of course finding the weapon (he takes after his old man, his luck SUCKS). The officer filed it originally as a felony so the initial bond was $25,000. Had he spend a couple more days in jail allowing the DA to review the charges the bond would have only been $500 and he would have got that back eventually. Charges ended up being dismissed without prejudice, which means they could be reinstated if he commits another crime within a year. If he has no other violations at the end of the year his record is supposed to be wiped. He also got his gun back. He was suspended from college for at least a year though. He was supposed to graduate at the end of the fall semester with an associate degree in criminal justice of all things. We haven't checked to see if he can return next spring to finish. If he transferred to another college he would loose about 20 hours of credits, he only needs 10 to graduate. I've heard it said many times "better to be judged by 12 than carried by six" and that's true, just be aware of the cost of being judged by 12!!! Just over a week ago he received his Oklahoma handgun permit so the unlawful carry should not be a problem again. [/QUOTE]
