One of my students was arrested in connection with a shooting (didn't hit anybody), and the one lesson I got out of their experience is you want to have a local lawyer that knows local law, the prosecutors, and judges, not an out-of-state attorney. The consensus was the person would be tried and probably serve prison time, but a local attorney worked out a deal to voluntarily surrender the CHL for 3 years in return for the charges being held 3 years and not prosecuted.
I have since had this impression confirmed by Oklahoma attorneys and one prominent attorney on this forum.
