You won't believe this one. Years ago, in my wilder days, I was preparing for a camping trip. I had a tent, a hatchet, a sleeping bag, and a wrist rocket(sling shot) in my trunk. I went to a local hang out to gather a few friends and some mood enhancing substance. I had no luck, but was going out to the woods anyways. Upon leaving the parking lot, I was stopped by LEO, who almost immediately had several backup cars present and had me covered with his side arm. They searched my car, and charged me with possession of a concealed weapon(hatchet), illegal possession of a FIREARM(sling shot), and possession of marijuana(a bent piece of copper pipe that smelled funny). I hired a lawyer, who laughed uncontrollably at these charges. The hatchet was dropped by the judge immediately due to the fact that it was in my trunk with other camping gear, the pipe thing was dropped when my lawyer asked to see the "marijuana" and the police provided a plastic bag with a piece of copper pipe in it(the judge was getting a little pissed at this point) and even though local ordinances DO consider a sling shot a fire arm, in light of the other issues, the judge dismissed the whole thing. It cost me a night in jail, and $600 for a lawyer, but well worth it since a public pretender would have just plea bargained and still left me with a record that could possibly prevented me from having an actual gun someday.
