If you only ever listen to me ONE TIME...do it now.
I have seen this mistake time and again in real life and on these forums. And sadly I have made the same kind of mistake before learning the hard way in the past. Lucky for me it was over real piddly shit so it didn't matter, still lesson learned the hard way.
Learn from this topic:
Guns Confiscated! My Night in PRISON. Lawers Advice Needed! If EVER you have a pending legal problem do these things first.
1. Leave. You can't be arrested if you aren't there. Have a place to go ALWAYS for emergency reasons, preferrably one potential troublemakers won't think about.
2. Secure your guns someplace safe. That means you have to figure out where that would be BEFORE a problem exists, preferrably one potential troublemakers won't think about.
3. Get a lawyer and don't talk to anyone else. SHUT UP and get a lawyer.We are all mostly honest people who are certain that if we only explain what "really happened" we can get this all taken care of. Problem is the police usually don't give a fuck, weren't there and are gonna be inclined to believe about 1/3 of what you said, a 1/3 of what your accuser said and will fill in the rest with what they "think" probably happened.
Police aren't concerned with justice, that is for the judge AFTER you have been arrested. Their only job is to determine IF they can arrest you.
Most often, you WILL BE ARRESTED and quite often your GUNS WILL BE TAKEN.
If the police call you on your phone...DO NOT GO BACK TO BE ARRESTED. Get a lawyer and advise the police to contact your lawyer. From that point do ONLY WHAT YOUR LAWYER SAYS.
Doesn't matter what the potential legal problem is. Imminent divorce, roomate problem, gf claims you hit her, etc. whatever is coming be prepared to do steps 1 through 3.
Most of you guys are prepared for natural disasters, robberies and invasions by foreign military but you end up pants down and over a barrel when someone calls the cops because they have some kind of problem with you.
Lawyers...if I left anything out or you believe my recommended actions could be better, please let me know.
