Taking his lumps and moving on, says E! Online:
... Farina, a former Chicago cop, was busted by LAPD when he attempted to go through a security checkpoint with a .22 caliber pistol. He was initially booked on a felony gun charge after police discovered the gun was unregistered. He was released after posting $35,000 bail and the charge was later reduced to a misdemeanor.
After the incident, Farina later blamed the situation on his "own stupidity."
"I'll be spending the next few days kicking my own ass," he said. "No one is more embarrassed than myself."
