What you have posted pertains primarily to AFT abuses but I can see the parallel with a state pseudo-harassment; using a training exercise to give a citation when otherwise a citation may not have been given; although I do feel maybe that is reaching a little bit.

I have lots of friends who own guns, most of them are veterans, and when I told them about my situation they told me that I should fight it, and gave me various grounds on how I could fight it but let me set the picture for you.

This happened to me before I had started fulltime RVing and the county court where the state park was located where I got the citation was more than 400-miles from where my house was. The nearest RV park was at the state park where I got the citation and I did not want to revisit that park just yet, during the court appearance.

So I drove about 420-miles to that county, stayed in a motel, and then appeared in court the next day bright and early. I had already done some research on the citation which I received, and had talked to two different lawyers about it. I concluded that it was best to just go into the courtroom without a lawyer and plead guilty. In short, the whole ordeal was enough of a deterrent for me to try and not find myself in that situation again.

I felt like with my being an honorably discharged Vietnam veteran, who had done a lot of direct community service to the State of California, a licensed professional who had worked with homeless veterans, drug addicts and the mentally ill, sometimes pro bono, and the gun I had was unloaded and obtained legally, and I had no prior arrests, that I most likely would get no jail time, and fortunately I was correct. Still, my friends did encourage me to fight it.
