I did the same thing . Hopefully you don ' t get fired , have a paper trail of how much you ' ve worked and how your tired , pay the fine . Don ' t feel stupid . They set it up so that it ' s a TINY detail . I almost got mine thrown out because they used a valid I ' D machine to make it , putting a tiny date under it . Even the judge took a second to see it . <| sep |> I ' m British but I envy the right to bear arms the Americans have . In my part of the world it is illegal to carry in public any item '' made , adapted or carried with intent to use for self defense '' or words to that effect . Even pepper spray is illegal . So are Kobutan , key chain self defense products etc . Most of my countrymen think the carrying of firearms to be totally bizarre . I however believe that the right to possess weapons for self defense to be a natural right , not something to be granted by the powers that be . The reason I do not carry weapons is because the legal penalties are severe enough to ruin my lifecareer if I were to be caught . Criminals , as ever , do not care about such penalties .
