Greetings,

Exact same thing happened to a friend of mine, 20+ years later with still no resolution. The problem (as frequently noted by gunlawyer Phil) is that many criminal defense lawyers are not sufficiently versed in the firearms aspects of the law, which likely holds true for the prosecutors as well. So, perhaps not intended to be a lie, but the devil hiding in the details that neither side examined closely enough.

To the OP, as many others advised, procure the services of one of the noted specialist firearms attorneys on this board to get accurate advice specific to your situation. Best of luck!

Regards, Jim
