He was shocked and forgot to pull it out of his bag from being at the range the day before. He figured no big deal as he didn't have any gun that mag could have been loaded into with him. The guard asked for him to step aside and the ahole calls DC Metro PD. DC Metro PD arrives and arrests my buddy. The charge....possession of UNREGISTERED ammo. How the hell do you register ammo?
So my buddy got to spend the night in jail. Mind you he's never been arrested or had any run ins with law enforcement. To add to the nightmare, the prosecutor pushes forward to have a trial. Again, my buddy has no record what so ever yet the prosecutor pushes for a full hearing. Meanwhile, the Federal government officials my buddy was supposed to meet have written letters to DC requesting the charges to be dropped vouching for his character. Nope. Full speed ahead to a court trial. I forgot how much money my buddy spends about it was around $12-20k in attorney's fees and when the hearing finally happens, the judge drops the charges.
I told my buddy he should contact the NRA about this and see if the NRA on his behalf would turn around and sue DC. But he just wanted this whole mess to go away.
ETA: The charge of having unregistered ammo is a felony charge.

WTF! See they know that the charges won't stick but they want to be a pain in the balls and be assholes so that court and lawyer fees get so outrageous that you voluntarily waive your 2nd ammendement rights. They can't drop an amendement so they try to strangle the citizens. I def agree with you ur buddy should contact the NRA and any other organizations to bite back at them. So he has a MD gun license and was "caught" with ammo? Or another state lic.? I mean what if it's someone that doesn't have 15k to blow? What's the option just go to prison for a couple years, lose your job, not get another job once you get out and just live the rest of your life in a hole all because some dipshit had a hard on for him
