Should I pawn my guns as form of payment?

Question

My son is facing some serious charges involving a gun.(no not murder) but facing 2 counts aggravated assault on public servant. It was all a huge mistake and not at all as the way they are saying things happened. No witnesses other then the officers vouching for each other. One officer shot at my son becsuse he said he pointed a gun at him. My son says he did not do that and i have yet to see any proof suggesting otherwise. My son has been in jail for 6 months and still no court date.. My son has no other priors besides no drivers license. Ive spoke to other attorneys but are wanting too much up front. So he was given a court appointed one. He seems to not too interested in wasting his time regarding my sons case since " he's a court appointed case" I offered to pay him in payments if he could do all ge could to help my son. That is when he suggested he would take my husbsnds guns as a form of payment. And work out payment plan but My question is should I consider pawning the guns or not. Shouldn't he do al he can regardless? Please no rude comments.. just need some kind of helpful advise.

Normally public defenders are conscientious but often overworked. They usually care and do the best they can,

NO You should NOT pay his court appointed attorney anything extra for your son's defense because he IS obliged to be a 'zealous advocate' for your son. No fooling, maybe he isn't but if he won't do it when he is obliged to do it by law, by being paid for it by the state, and by reason of ethics, I seriously doubt he will do it for whatever extra you coming up with. It sounds like an ethical violation on his part anyway.

If you want to help your son get the money however you can and go to a reputable attorney. 

However, I wouldn't hold up a lot of hope here -- if there are 3 witnesses, two are police who say he did it and one is him who said he didn't and there's no objective proof -- oh except the gun he had in his possession and ?discharged?...-- not much chance he's going to win. A good attorney would perhaps get a better plea bargain.

once you pawn a gun, except it became an outright sale, you've the right to get it back. If the pawn broking deals with guns, they ought to have an FFL. this suggests the gun has to logged right into a e book once you provide it to them, and once you reclaim it,it must be logged out as a common firearms sale, with historic past verify and all, the staggering element to do is not in any respect hock a gun, that is an issue getting it back.

Yeah I think you should give him your guns, maybe if you didn't have them lying around your son wouldn't be in this mess.
I doubt the police are lying because really what would they gain by lying?
