You're in luck, you don't need to find out what you are looking at without a lawyer, because you are entitled to one if you cannot afford it.
Umlawful carry of a weapon is a class A misdemeanor, up to 1yr in jail, up to a $4k fine. Assault family violence is a class A misdemeanor as well, unless there is an allegation of choking, then it is a 3rd degree felony, 2 to 10 yrs in prison, up to a $10k fine.
If you decide to proceed without an attorney and represent yourself pro se? You are looking at the same potential punishments as if you had an attorney, but the outcome of your case may end up much worse. No one is wise to represent themselves in a criminal case. If you cannot afford a lawyer, a court appointed lawyer is your best bet.
Good luck.
