Charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon
Gun Charges
MALE CLIENT IN COMPTON COURTHOUSE, APRIL 2017. The Client was charged with carrying a concealed dirk or dagger in violation of Penal Code section 21310 as a felony. It was also alleged that he had two prior strike convictions as well as prior prison sentences. The prosecution was initially seeking a state prison sentence. The client had the knife in a holster attached to his belt. We contended that it was not concealed and therefore legal for him to carry the knife openly. After extensive negotiations and discussions with the Court, the Judge reduced the charge to a misdemeanor with no jail. Result: Misdemeanor summary probation. ALL FELONY CHARGES AND PRIOR WERE DISMISSED.
