Legal advise

[Beprepared]

Hello folks,

So I have these two friends, friend A and friend B. Friend A plans a trip to Kalifornia for a wedding. Friend B says " hey can I order a Cane Sword delivered to your house, and you bring it to me?" Friend A knows this is not entirely legal in Kalifornias perspective but says "sure." On friend A s last day in town he delivers said Cane Sword to Friend B. On Friend B s way home he gets stopped by PD for broken taillight. For some reason they have cause to search vehicle. PD finds said illegal concealed sword, and makes arrest. Friend B spend a night in jail. Friend A gets a call from 3 other friends along with Friend B on his drive back to Colorado.

Friend B in official statement, states it was a gift from named Friend A. It is, I'm sure in Friend B s best interest to state it was a gift. Friend B asks everyone present, including Friend A to write deposition stating Friend A gifted to Friend B.

Friend A s question, would Kalifornia have any reason to fine, prosecute, or put Friend A s name on a list preventing him from legally purchasing firearms or passing a background check in the future?

Serious responses please.
I'm sure Friend A will appreciate any good advise.

I don't know what the exact details of the state or local law regarding the legality of possession and ownership of cane swords in the State of California, but Friend A could have subjected himself to criminal liability, regardless of whether it was gifted of sold to Friend B from Friend A.

First of all, Friend B purchased the sword and had it shipped to Friend A's house. Friend A then transported the sword to California to deliver to Friend B. There was no gift given, therefore Friend B has committed perjury by lying in an official statement.

Second, Friend A could be held liable as a co-conspirator to the crime. Since Friend A agreed to deliver the sword to Friend B knowing that it was illegal, then Friend A can be held fully liable for whatever crime Friend B is charged with and for the conspiracy.

Basically, Friend B could seriously be screwing Friend A over by including any statements implicating Friend A. What Friend B should do is take the shit that he got himself into like a man and don't try to exculpate himself by putting the blame on others. By making statements to the police implicating Friend A, he puts both himself and Friend A in a worse position.

Please remember, this is just what could possibly happen, not what is going to happen. It all depends on how the prosecutor wants to prosecute the case.

Just my $0.02...

HUH????

What difference does it make if it was a gift?? Sounds like friend B dicked friend A by bringing him into it. If friend A was smart he'd wash his hands of it entirely - not the best thing for a friend to do but sometimes...well, most of the time really; CYA is priority #1.

deny everything, admit nothing.

the guy from co should deny he did anything regarding sale and or gift. If it is to late for that. attorney, attorney, attorney.

If he is already back in CO screw them. CA will never extradite him, nor will CO make the effort to detain him .

the CO guy should fu$%^&*k the guy in CA anally, since that's what he did to him by giving him up to LE's

Friend A should deny he even knows friend B. Man up and don't throw people who did you a favor under the bus.

"Friend B" ain't no friend. Tell A to run.
