Get him a Public Defender, but your son's long term success depends upon a lot more than the legal system, regardless of how this arrest turns out. If you really want to help him avoid a merry go round of prison and release, followed by more prison and release, you need to put him in a position to find better friends than those who need to bring concealed pistols to a bonfire. Assuming that he'll live with you again after his release, then your living in a different city, far from these "friends,” even if they are relatives, might be a good start. Your son probably knew that these characters went armed and will also be armed the next time, so the last thing that you want is for him to live within easy driving distance of them.
