Im 21 was on my last week of the academy. And I went hunting yesterday and forgot to take my gun out of my truck. They searched my truck and I got kicked out of the academy for having a gun in my truck. So now I have to have a POST hearing. What are the odds I can get unbanned or any advice y’all could give me to prepare for this? Thanks in advance. (This is in Georgia btw)

Why did they search your truck and why are they allowing you to take a home a gun if you aren’t allowed to drive home with it??
What’s state are you in? I think some states treat this as a deal breaker but other states…. Not sure.
I think providing a state would help with answers.
Their aloud to search your car? That’s fucking weird
Edit: allowed
get a lawyer. You should’ve known better. Your chances are not good but there is definitely an explanation that can be set forth to the hearing officer of the Board. Lawyer here..
Be truthful, don’t lie and if possible provide evidence.
Assuming it’s a community college and having a weapon on educational property is a big no no as well as a high level (likely DQing) misd in most states. As for searching cars, many academies do this at the beginning of a week, especially if a live in academy.
So technically committed a crime that the charge would disqualify for any cert, therefore booted.
Were you at a college or one of the GPSTC academies? Are you pre-service or with an agency already?
You can get kicked out for having a damn firearm in your truck?
Is it illegal to take your rifle to the shooting range after work?
