Ive been gone from THR for awhile.
Ill Start at the begining.......
Back that the end of november, On a wedsday November 16th. I was startled and woken to the sound of a very large crash right out side my window( my bedroom window opens right into a alleyway... soo theres no room for even grass to grow) After the crash there was a scilence and then a eruption of what sounded like the LA Riots. I rolled quickly out of bed and listened. "*" you mutha "*"er and things of that was all i heard. "**** you, I'll drop you with a single shot!" I heard. At that moment I grabed my clothes, poped em On and went to leave, Grabbing my Derringer as i left, I put it In my Belt. I get to my car, and as im geting in one of the men looks at me and simply said "what?" and took a step toward me... I stood up straight and he saw the handle of the gun and stoped, he said" Thats what I thought." as I got in my car and left.
Heres where it gets bad... I took My derringer out of my belt and put it in the console, so I didnt blow my leg off, because I had no holster.
I drove off and got pulled over. My tags were Expired. That I am guitly as sin of, I know.... But What happened next is where things whent bad. The officer Asked me if i had a AK in my Car. Why? I had a AK magizine that was on my back seat. A few days previous my gun box broke and all the stuff inside fell out, magizines, cleaning stuff, etc...( NO AMMO, thats a different box) I had thought I gotten it all, but when I was looking for my Mp3 player I felt under my seat to find it and found the magizine.. I put it on my seat so I wouldnt forget, well I forgot..
He wanted to see in my trunk and so we did that whole thing, he found some mold, and a jack, and other things trunks tend to have in them. I was rather Irate with the search and how he kept asking if i had proper paper work for owning a AK-47. I kept insisting that i own a AKM sporting rifle which is a AK-47 clone that is BTAF approved and does not require paperwork in the state of ohio, and that 30 mags are legal to use with such a rifle. He then asked to look under my seat and in my cab, I was upset and told him what had happened to me and to go ahead...
Well he found the derringer and when he pulled it up out of the console i looked down at my belt and realized I had forgotten about takeing it off my belt. I was arrested for CCW(felony 4) and Improper Transport(felony 4).
My trial was orignaly dec 15th, it was then continued to jan 5th. I went to trail and after the evidence and everything was brought forward, plus all the letters that were written on my behalf ( noting that Im safe, smart and if i had a gun on me it was for damn good reason) by so many of the local deputys and other hamilton cops who i shoot with on a regular basis. The Judge called my lawyer up to the stand and asked him some questions,One of which was " so if it would have been on him or laying on the seat next to him or on his person, it would have been fine, but because he put it in a safe place and was made in-accesable for him to operate, hes of two felonys?"
The judge exonearated the CCW charge, as it was bogus. He also Droped the Improper Trasnport to a M1 Misdomeaner and i was only fined 140$. He told the arresting officer that it was redicolus that I was even in the court room for this, and told me that if Im going to have a gun for defense, have somthing bigger than a .22.
Thats why I was away from here. I personally feel horrible that I made such a mistake anyway. At the moment I left my house, i was In fear of my life and if i would have not done what i did, i feel i would be seriouly hurt, if not dead. however I should have known better that to put it IN the car, rather than leaving it on me and have been kicking my own behind since.
