I assume you have no other arrests on your record. Get a decent lawyer and try to get him to work out a pre trial probation agreement with the Assistant DA. After whatever they set the time as, 1 yr, 2 yr, the charge gets dismissed and you have no conviction, no continued without a finding. It's probably the cheapest best option.
About your LTC, it depends on your town. You would not have a conviction or anything other than the arrest. A green town will give you an LTC unrestricted. Good luck.
Good move not posting details here. Don't talk about the situation with other people either, keep it to your lawyer and that's it.
damn my brother in law had a similar situation. His lunatic wife screams in his face, he walks by her in narrow hallway to get away from her and bumps into her on the way and she calls 911. He's in cuffs, spends 3 nights in jail becuase it was during the blizzard last winter. Guy is a big big dude but truly a gentle giant. His wife is a batshit insane italian firecracker who literally instigates every single argument I've ever seen them get in.
Now he pays her................$500 A WEEK. Cuz ya know that's how much it costs to feed and clothe one baby.
Some women just SUCK and the system is designed to punish men for their mere existence.
Lawyer up, shut your mouth, stay the F away from her
it's true. I have no sympathy for a coward of a man who actually beats his wife but even when there's no violence and the divorce is amicable men get absolutely screwed. It's sickening.The war on MEN!!!
Your best option in reconciliation. Good times and bad, sickness and in health until death do you part. No situation is beyond repair!
She is entitiled to continue to live her life the way it was while he was still living under the same roof as she in this f - up state.it's true. I have no sympathy for a coward of a man who actually beats his wife but even when there's no violence and the divorce is amicable men get absolutely screwed. It's sickening.
No, the line's been crossed, there's no going back once a 209A comes out. Ever. Regardless of who is at fault, that well is pretty much poisoned.

This. Life isn't fair. Not in this Godforsaken state anyway. I hope you don't have any kids.Your firearms are the LEAST of your worries.

Move to a free state ASAP. If your not in the wrong, fight it, if you are, take the best deal and learn from this episode in life. Good Luck with the future!
Eddie,
I know you can't post details, and you shouldn't. that said, the 50 posts before me are all sorry that you're in the situation. If you are the victim of a spiteful, vindictive wife you also have my sympathy and wish you the best.
however if you did strike your wife, while I don't think you should lose your constitutional rights, I do think that you should be punished. A beating by her brothers would be a good start, some therapy and maybe jail depending may be warranted . Men don't hit their wives.
again, if innocent of the charge, I wish you luck and I'm sorry that you're going through this
I don't know at this point if I will ever get my LTC back at this point.

No need to do that.... Get married but don't ask for permission from the state or tell them what you have done. A marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman, and God, for those who accept that. But then you have government come along and be the dominant player in the marriage, who sets the rules, changes them arbitrarily, and enforced whatever it wants to suit its own agenda. F that.I'm sure some of the single guys here just delayed their already unplanned wedding by another 5 years.

Hopefully, Eddie is smart enough to not respond.
In any event, he never said there was a 209A. It's just as likely that there is a Stay-Away/No Contact order as a condition of bail. That's my guess based on the temporary order mentioned in the original post.
I've had more than enough clients who called the police to try to defuse a situation. That's what the police department used to recommend. The police end up arresting someone "because if we show up, someone's getting arrested". Unless the "victim" is in court to say she doesn't want it, the judge frequently issues a stay-away/no contact order.
Hopefully, this is the case with Eddie.
