Re: carrying concealed weapon
Yes, you need a lawyer. The outcome could be anything from a simple probation-like sentence where the charges are dismissed once the "probation" is completed to prison time, depending on the prosecutor and judge. Attempting to take a weapon on a plane is considered a very serious crime these days.
Re: carrying concealed weapon
What you can expect depends on a number of things. Were you arrested for this incident? Often times the police will understand that it is a mistake, confiscate the contraband, and let you go on your way.
If on the other hand you were arrested, either through a custodial arrest or a Notice to Appear, the outcome may be different. In that situation, it depends on your prior record, if any, the Judge, and the prosecutor.
If you would like help with this situation, or have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.
