You ,sir, know not of what you speak. When there is no malicious intent the officer will usually warn you and forget about it or if charged it gets reduced... How do I know this? 2 ways, 1 my Dad and step Mom both work for the Sheriffs dept. 2 I had it happen to me and it was a fine and yes still able to have my CHL. Go ahead and leave yours behind though and maybe if you're lucky I'll be there to protect you and your familiy when the bar and grill you're eating in has a dumb ass start trying to kill people cuz he caught his girl cheating on him with the bartender.
