Odd. I had not heard that law was held unconstitutional.
Odd, I didnt know that the second amendmet says "you have the right to keep and bear arms*"
*as long as you have a CCL....

Someone mentioned earlier that a suspended sentence drops off your record. That is not so. A suspended sentence is a conviction. What you are looking for if you hire an Atty. Is a deferreence. A deferred sentence is basically set aside for a period of time pending the completion of certain criteria. That may be as simple as not getting into any more trouble. After a period of time, if you meet the criteria, the charge is thrown out. Hence, no record because there was never a conviction... Food for thought.
Valid Point.
I am not an attorney, but I recently spent the night in a Holiday Inn Express. And I assume that no one else commenting is an attorney.
That said, if you just go and pay your fine, you will be pleading guilty to whatever they have you charged with and will have to suffer the consequences of that plea. As you can tell, nobody here really knows how that might affect your ability to carry concealed, since nobody really knows what the charges are.
If you want to protect your rights, you need to consult with an attorney. Yes, it will cost you, but that is the price you pay for the error of your ways. An attorney might get the charges down to a couple of traffic violations that mean nothing, because of the good ole boy network.
Just sayin, cover your rear.

I suspect that probably is what I was thinking of. Thanks again for doing the research.

This issue has been resolved.
Small towns are great. The Chief of Police sympathized with me since I'm trying to get my CCL, he talked to the DA, and they dropped the open container ticket and the transporting a loaded firearm. So I paid the stop sign ticket, got my guns back and life is good.
I suppose alot of it had to do with My being a good kid and for the most part staying out of trouble. (this was my first ticket in 3 years)
