I haven't been arrested since I was a teen until a year and a half ago when I had a club type weapon that I used to keep in my car, long story short I had a parking violation posted on my car window for parking in front of a Mcdonalds when there was no sign stating so. A couple mall security gaurds were cussing and yelling at me for doing so, I drove off and told them to screw themselves because there was no sign.
I drove behind the complex where there was a parking lot so I could eat my food when 3 guys raced towards me saying "we're going to f*ck you up" verbatim, and I saw them wearing plain clothes so I could only guess they were thugs, so I reached into car and grabbed the club, they backed off and said they were security, keep in mind once they identified themselves I told them security doesn't normal say things like that and I never assaulted anyone, but their stories to the police was different saying I took a swing ....yeah right.
Metro was called to the scene I was cuffed and hauled away to jail, they tried slapping 2 felonies and multiple misdemeanors on me in court unless I pleaded guilty and then given a simple amended misdemeanor and 750 dollar fine.
I pleaded guilty because I didn't want to go through months of trial and risk getting those felonies and misdemeanors. So now it bothers the hell out of me that I have this on my record, so my question to you is, if a cop pulls me to the side for open carry and eventually he asks if I have ever been arrested, can the cop confiscate my weapon and or continue to harrass me?
I like to think of myself as still a decent citizen being able to open carry my firearm, and plan to get this stupid misdemeanor removed from my file, talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time, I understand the "do not talk to cops" situation using the 4th and 5th, any suggestions? Thanks
