Is my post invisible? haha

haha, no...I was simply further highlighting the one that applied in this instance...thanks for doing half the work for us!...

Thanks for the replies guys and gals. I'm actually pretty surprised theres a provision in there for someone who is otherwise eligible for a LTCF to only face a misdemeanor.

It's an M1, a disqualifier.......
Why is that such a good thing?????????

[ErSwnn]

They get the gun charges pleaded away........

But only if your a thug from Philly with multiple convictions for violent crimes. If your an otherwise law abiding person.....your screwed.

I'm sure you'd be looking at jail time....at the least , you'd be on probation for a looooong time. I'm not a judge so I can't say exactly.

worst thing I ever got was a speeding ticket, and that was in 1998...lol
