If you pass enough laws...
you can virtually make anyone a 'criminal'.
Bob, spent 18 months going through hell arrested for carrying without a permit while facing off armed gang members in occupied Kalifornia.
Even with the penal code showing I was legal, the local DA wanted to make an example of me:
"(j) (1) Nothing in this section is intended to preclude the
carrying of any loaded firearm, under circumstances where it would
otherwise be lawful, by a person who reasonably believes that the
person or property of himself or herself or of another is in
immediate, grave danger and that the carrying of the weapon is
necessary for the preservation of that person or property. As used
in this subdivision, "immediate" means the brief interval before and
after the local law enforcement agency, when reasonably possible, has
been notified of the danger and before the arrival of its
assistance." CA PC 12031
After 18 months and the loss of my revolver, all charges were dropped. No charges, no crime. Yes, you can be aquitted by a jury, but so was O.J. It's best to have charges dropped if possible.
Good luck,
Matey
