Glock wasnt loaded but the AR15 had i believe the 3 rounds in the clip which it was in the AR but nothing chambered... i wanted to see my mother just a few seconds before we head to the range well they didnt ask if i had anything just why i was there and went in ....i wasnt in the area less than 2 mins because i asked a officer if my mother was available he replied she doing the scared straight program so i didnt want to bother so proceeded back to front where i came from where the first officer was well he asked for our id's a second time which he asked if i have any weapons in the trunk , i replied yes a AR and a Glock then it went down hill from then i got arrested friends are okay but i was very cooperative with the whole situation i have a clean record and hoping with that it helps and I have a expose firearm permit for security so hoping that helps as what kind of person i am but my other bad thing is i bought 2 extended clips at a show and i only take them out when i go shooting i know there illegal in CA but I'm stupid like that im a very nice guy just made a stupid mistake of not thinking before i do well sorrry my name is Richard Montes De Oca and the codes they gave me are PC 32310 and PC25850(a) i was told that i was going to get a felony but what they told in jail that im getting a mesdameaner sorry for my grammer I dont know why which is a good thing just wondering how i handled the whole situation and maybe because my mother i really dont know i have a court date on Aug 18 of this year and hoping you can give me a tip on handling this situation will they keep it a mesdameaner or not charging me because it was a really bad accident

What you are charged and whether it is a felony or a misdemeanor is up to the DA--not the police or CDCR. What you should do now is retain the best criminal defense lawyer in town and hope that he/she can talk the DA out of prosecuting the case.

California is harsh with people caught violating the various laws governing gun possession in the state. I urge you to cease discussing the matter on the internet and get yourself a good criminal defense attorney in your area who has handled firearms charges before.
