So I'm posting this question for a friend:
Friend of a Friend just got busted for having a concealed weapon in his car (under the seat) on the way to Vegas from Kali. Story goes something like this: Friend of a Friend (from now on referred to "FF") was involved in some kind of road race/rage thing on the I-15. FF calls the Chippers to help him because the other guy in the car is following him and driving recklessly. No one responds for 20 something minutes. FF getting a little nervous after no Chippers shows up so allows the other guys car to pull up next to him and then FF motions something to the extent "I have a gun"with his hands but no time shows his gun. The other guy calls 911 and 3 minutes later the Chippers pull over FF. Chippers report that the other guy said FF was waiving a Stainless/Chrome gun. Chippers search car and find a black pistol under the seat. FF is now out on Bail.
Now it starts getting complicated. FF is a Nevada resident, incident happened in Kali. Gun is registered (I think) to one of FF's LEO's friends (who is a Swat guy in Kali). FF owns two business and has a spotless record. I know in Kali, there is a provision that if your caught with a loaded gun, the first offense will be dismissed as a misdemeanor (provided that gun was legal and registered, and that this is your first offense and you are no way affiliated to any gangs).
FF doesn't want a Felony conviction as it will really screw up his life. The DA is offering a felony conviction and 90 days. Do you think there is anyway to get this down to misdemeanor? and if so anyone have a reference to a good gun friendly attorney in the LA area? I'll pass the info on. Thanks
