What are the penalties for unlawfully carrying of a pistol in state of sc?1st offense



i was arrested while en route to work with a loaded handgun registered to me in a back pack in vehicle and charged with unlawfully carrying of a pistol.have a court date coming up and would like to know what i may be facing.cant afford an attorney and hoping maybe you could help by giving some insight into the penalties.?
Unlawful carrying of a pistol carries a sentence of up to a year and a fine of $1000.


Even though finances are an issue for you, I would highly recommend retaining an attorney to assist you with your defense.


Best of luck.
they are drawing charges against her at this moment, and at her hearing she is facing 90 days in jail. everyone who is caught on driving with suspended license isn't always taken to jail because sometimes a lot of people don't know their licenses are suspended, but they have a court date and the judge determines what their penalty will be. it all depends on the officers, city, county, etc. i wouldn't say she is getting a "get of jail" free card, but they are giving her the benefit of the doubt like other citizens. it happened to my ex boyfriend before that is why i know everyone isn't always arrested on the spot.... it is illegal to be in the back of an ute in the first place,
and you'll be charged with trespassing. not a chance. you have convictions for relevant crimes. you're a thief and you carry a knife. Actually, under the California Implied Consent/Admin Per Se laws, you may have something to worry about. I would do two things if I were you: 1) check with the California DMV to make sure your driving status is still good so that you don't add to your sitaution by getting a driving on a suspended license charge; and 2) contact a local DUI lawyer for a free consultation to make sure you haven't missed anything (doesn't mean you have to hire anybody... just call so you know for sure rather than relying on this forum). See the source below for information on the CA DMV and implied consent for DUI cases. There are also links on that page to all of the relevant official CA DUI guides. Good luck with your case. here are opinions and answers from faq farmers: * there are probably different laws in different states, but in kansas you show the sales tax receipt when you register the vehicle. if you did not pay sales tax to the seller, the county clerk will collect it then. * no. the buyer probably will. * i believe that in most states when you go to register the car as the buyer you will pay sales tax on the purchase price equal to the sales tax rate of the county you live in. * sales tax is a state tax and laws and rates do vary. cars (like real estate) are, by the very nature of values involved, frequently handled under special rules. generally, just like if you buy say a used washing machine from a business, that business will collect the sales tax. with cars, if you don't buy it from a business, when you go the register it, the dept. of mtr vehicles will collect it for the state. if you trade a car in to a dealer, many places they can give you a credit for the value of the trade, and only charge you sales tax on the amount above it. * yes -- i just discovered yesterday that if you live in georgia, you will have to pay sales tax if you buy a used vehicle from a business. this may be the rule in other states also, even if you purchase the car from out of state. last month i flew to new york to pick up a beautiful 2003 cadillac escalade, and drove it back down here to georgia. the car was loaded with everything, and i bought it from an individual (so i thought). since i got a good price on the car compared to a dealership, and thought i would be avoiding any sales tax, i felt it was a very good deal. the only problem was that the seller had bought the car through his small business/company, in which he was a partner, and the company's name was written first above his name on the title. yesterday, when i went to the county offices to register it, i was told that i would have to pay just over $2100 sales tax at 7% (the county rate) because the car was purchased from a business (although not a car dealership). while i am very happy with the car and still got a very good price, this is a loophole that i've never run into before. so, if you think that you are buying a used car from an individual, make sure that you ask them if it was purchased and titled under the name of a small business or company they own, otherwise you may be liable for the full taxable amount. comment/clarification on above: the person above is confusing things: that the seller had it registered however he had (business name or not) makes no difference. when you buy a car from a non auto dealer, you pay the tax when you register the car. when you buy it from a dealer, (who normally handles all the registration stuff for you)...you pay him the tax to pay the state. when you buy a car for export out of the state, the tax isn't charged until you register it in the destination state (or if it is, most states will give you a credit for the tax paid, if it was done to get a temporary transit permit). as far as my previous response, i'm not confusing the matter, just reporting on what happened here with the county when i went to register the car. the fact that the vehicle was "owned" by a business is what affected the taxes. it would have been the same if the owner was in georgia or in another state. i have purchased vehicles both in and out of state, and because it was from an individual, i did not have to pay sales tax at all when it was registered. these were non auto dealers, and there was no tax owed to the county gov't. i'm not trying to create confusion, just letting you know what happened to me here in georgia. the commenter immediately above is absolutely correct. in georgia, a used vehicle purchased from an individual (whether he/she is in-state or outside of georgia) has absolutely no sales tax liability, either at the time of purchase or when the vehicle is registered in georgia. if, on the other hand, you buy from an auto dealer (either in-state or outside of georgia) they are legally obligated to collect the sales tax and forward it to the georgia department of revenue (retain proof of such payment in case they fail to do so). the only exception to this rule is if you buy from an out-of-state auto dealer who then ships the vehicle to you in georgia via "common carrier" (in other words, you don't take delivery in this other state). in that case, they have no legal obligation to collect georgia sales tax, but you will then owe "use tax" (same principle as sales tax) when you register your vehicle at the georgia dmv (the exact rate of tax may vary from county to county within georgia; you will pay the rate effective in your county of residence). if you buy from a business entity that is not an auto dealer (say a car rental firm that's selling excess inventory), whether they are in-state or outside of georgia you are still liable for the sales tax. it makes absolutely no difference whether that business is an auto dealership or not: it's whether the name on the seller's title is of an individual or a business that determines sales tax liability in georgia. in short: individual seller (in georgia or out of state) = no sales tax when registering vehicle in georgia; business seller (auto dealer or not, in-state or outside of georgia) = sales tax liable (with the one exception noted above, when an out-of-state dealer ships you the vehicle via common carrier -- then you are responsible for paying the "use tax" when you register at the georgia dmv). note: when you buy a georgia vehicle and register it in another state, you will pay the prevailing sales tax rate in that other state. thus, it doesn't make sense to travel to georgia to buy a vehicle just to avoid the sales tax. same would be true for vehicles purchased in oregon, or any other state that doesn't tax vehicle sales (unless, of course, you also live in such state). clarification: if you purchasde a used vehicle from a private owner in georgia (and you live in georgia), then you avoid paying any sales tax on the car. georgia considers this type of transaction a "casual sale " and only charges sales tax if the previous owner registered the vehicle for a business. expect to pay sales tax in georgia, however, if the previous private owner registered the vehicle for business use, or, you bought the car from a dealer. cars purchased out-of-state also incur a sales tax. for example, if you live in georgia and purchased a car in florida from a private individual, you do pay a sales tax in georgia. previous postings incorrectly state that you don't have to pay a sales tax in georgia if you bought a car from a private individual outside of georgia. it does matter! i live in georgia and purchased a new mercedes benz in florida from a private individual , i had to pay a sales tax when registering my car in georgia. you do not have to pay sales tax in ga when a car is purchased from a privaqte seller regardless of where the private seller resides. this is deemed a casual sale. please see the links below for the official documentation from the ga dept of revenue: http://motor.etax.dor.ga.gov/motor/registration/regrequirements.asp state regulation 560-12-1-.07 regarding sales tax (casual sale) http://rules.sos.state.ga.us/docs/560/12/1/07.pdf ok, has anyone noticed that the guy asking the question specifically refers to california? why is everyone discussing georgia? so frustrating! * choosing a **first hunting rifle** involves a lot more than just getting measurements and caliber right. there are other considerations that new adult hunters should be thinking about when they pull the trigger on their **first hunting rifle**. like all hobbies, starting with an entry-level piece of gear or equipment is a practical **first** step. Pretty much any sharp knife will cut a seatbelt. For breaking a window, I know of a fireman that keeps the tool velcro'd on his dashboard; it comes from finding people who died in their cars. I've looked at these tools, they are basically a small hammer with a razor in the handle. The fireman had a spring-loaded punch. The problem with escaping a vehicle is you just typically went through a severe crash and looking around for a tool is difficult. If you're planning for this scenario and don't keep your knife on you at all times, then you may want to consider his solution.   

  

Most of the spring-assisted knives I see do not qualify to me as a pocket knife. I like mine smaller. I have Buck, Kershaw and Old Timer knives are modestly priced and will out last me. The knife that opened the West was a simple carbon-steel butcher knife. Strike a spark from it and cut up anything that needs it. We've come a long way if we think we need a $100 multi-tool to get out of vehicle when a $10 hammer works. I have a large metal flashlight strapped under my seat for a lot of reasons.   

  

Here's a site with reviews on assisted knives that I got off of google. Looks like they've spent more time on it than I have.   

[http://www.springassistedknives.com/assi...](http://www.springassistedknives.com/assistedknife/category/spring-assisted-knife-reviews/) if you had to pay in money when you filed then they are going to charge you interest for being late.

they are probably conducting an internal audit of all of your past returns right now, that is why you haven't gotten the notice yet. if they determine that you did this intentionally, which is likely, they'll access a punitive fine on top of the interest they'll charge you.

otherwise they might just send a warning. although it is illegal to file late, if you didn't owe them money they probably won't make a big deal out of it. just the same, they are probably auditing all of your recent returns. report the incident to the police & to your home insurers before you do any cleanup. take pictures (with obvious landmarks like trees, other buildings, etc. so the vandalism can be identified back to your property) of the mess so you have some evidence. give the best description you can and you'll be asked if there's anyone you might suspect. strict liability 



liability for injury to others without regard to fault or negligence, arising from inherently dangerous activities (which may have economic or social value). it also may apply to defective or unreasonably dangerous products, provided the product reaches or affects the injured person without having been altered by another. some states also impose strict liability for some violations of criminal law or public policy. examples: strict liability may attach to harm done by a person's pet poisonous snake or by a demolition contractor's use of explosives.
