Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee

to plea or not to plea

I have been fighting a criminal case for two years this month. my aunt and i were charged with initiating a process to manufacturing meth, promoting manufacturing of meth, unlawful possssion of a weapon, possession drug paraph. my co-dedendent took a plea last month for 5 years probation. my plea is for 8 years on the initiating the process charge. my problem is the weapon and paraph should be thrown out due to the weapon was a shotgun in a closed closet, registered and not illegal sitting next to 3 other guns nobody touched. and the parph. was a needle in a diabetic's house. so i am only seeing two charges i should be facing. i dont see doing 8 years even probation just for driving 3 people to my co-def.'s house at her judgement. against mine. (we argued for 4 hours about it. and going to sleep there. i am trying to either find a definition of these two charges or find out if i should discuss a plea bargain, and try for something less than 8 years. my atternory is not saying much other than, their witness says he was too drunk to remember. so i am at a lose for what to do. any precedents these? anything right now would be helpful. thank you.
