I recently shot a dog that ran off its property into an alley and toward my family. We had our children with us as well as our small dog. It was acting aggressively. I have been charged with discharging a firearm inside a borough. If I plea and just pay the fine will it end my chances of getting a CCW permit again or purchasing firearms etc? I do have a lawyer, but I did not remember to ask him this today. The charges they are filing are reckless endangerment x2 and discharging the firearm. Seems as if they will take a plea for just discharging. This is all very preliminary. Any help would be appreciated.
