"Packing" makes everything easier.
[QUOTE=PlaynAtl;3261347]I do too, but the problem with that is how are you going to explain where you were? Even if it is one hundred percent clearly self defense, there will be news stories, public police records, etc. How do you explain to the wife why you were there to begin with?[/QUOTE]When LEO and TV shows up, instead of explaining, blow them away.
Wife asks were you were, blow her away too. Kids? Hey, can't have witnesses.
When can I stop getting harassed?
I am a retired Asian guy and I have through the years met lots of Caucasian girlfriends, a lot of them are dancers or ex-dancers. I take them our to dinner and go drinking with them and sometimes I take them to the hotel. I don't pay them for sex. Only once in awhile like Christmas buy them some clothes to go out with me. I was in a classy hotel room with 2 of them having fun and in come 4 cops when we were not dressed. They said some people reported that we had drugs and prostitution. After being grilled and questioned individually for above 45 minutes, they left without finding any evidence of either claim and told me that I can stay in the hotel. I told them I know these girls for 7 and 3 years and I know their families and they are some of my girlfriends. I was totally humiliated. How can people accuse others without any evidence or facts and I always think you need some evidence before you can search and detain people? I always think USA is a land of law and order and freedom. Don't get me wrong. I always support the cops for protecting us and risked their lives everyday. This is the second time this happened. Situations like this that make me feel I never belong here. I bet you if I were a Caucasian guy, this will not happen. I hate people discriminating against others and I surely strongly dislike being treated like this. Has this occurred to you? I have lived here for 51 years, paid millions of taxes through my working years, and honestly I am thinking of leaving this country. Without my kids being here, I would be long gone. I have a friend who married a black guy and when they travelled to Chicago to see her mom, they were called all kinds of nasty names, refused service at restaurants, and accused for sex slavery. What is going on in the USA? I did not support either Trump or Hillary in the election. So this is not a political issue with me.
You are in trouble regardless

It's best to play the game like the older guys do, by trying to MINIMIZE THE DAMAGE.
Your wife / significant other will still find out and know what you were doing, but at least you can avoid a criminal record.
I'll use myself as an example, when I got caught up with that BSW last year. It cost be 1500 bones and my family now knows about the "hobby. " Though, all of that is better than having a criminal record.
Times heals most wounds, you have to take the risks of this hobby like a man. Honestly, sometimes the kitty cat or bbj is not worth it.
You live and you learn.
