(DMC No. 5370) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2005-105534): Mr. V. had been drinking all day, and was in his trailer with his wife when he decided to bring his gun out to clean it.

Police were called, and he was charged with a class 6 “dangerous” felony under Shannon’s Law, with a prior conviction while on probation. He was facing a minimum of 3 years in prison (along with a probation violation) before we had the case reduced to probation and 4 months of jail with work release during the day.
