Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas has no concerns about possible legal action brought against him for taking unloaded guns from his locker because law enforcement officials "already know the truth."

He's not as confident he can escape punishment from NBA commissioner David Stern.

Arenas said on Tuesday that he'll likely have to meet with Stern to explain why he had guns at the Verizon Center last month. Arenas has yet to be contacted by league officials for his role in what he claims is nothing more than a joke gone awry.

Arenas laughed when he said he feared Stern more than the authorities because the commissioner was "mean." Arenas said Stern could be feeling pressure to discipline him even before authorities make a decision on whether or not to press charges.

"Most likely he's getting a lot of pressure with all the stories going around," Arenas said.

Stern likely will wait until the legal process is complete before handing down penalties, but he could rule on Arenas now since league rules were broken in that instance.

At the NBA's request, the firearms language was bolstered during collective bargaining in 2005. Players are subject to discipline if they bring guns to the arena or practice facility, or even an offsite promotional appearance.

"Once they hear the real stories, and the stories get out, you put it in David Stern's hands," Arenas said. "What he does, he does."

Arenas did not say if his guns were licensed.

He didn't seem bothered by the ongoing legal process before the game. Arenas was photographed encircled by his Wizards teammates, smiling and pointing his index fingers at them as if they were guns.

Arenas, who turns 28 on Wednesday, apologized after the game if the photo upset anyone.

"I know everybody seen the pre game pics..my teammate thought to break the tention we should do that..but this is gettn way to much," Arenas tweeted.

One day after voluntarily meeting with law enforcement officials to explain why he had guns at the Verizon Center last month, Arenas had 19 points and 14 assists for the Wizards in their 104-97 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

In his statement Monday, Arenas repeated his earlier assertion that he brought four guns to the Verizon Center to store in his locker in order to get them out of his house and away from his children. Arenas told federal authorities that he believed recent changes in D.C. law made it legal for him to store unloaded guns at the arena.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that prosecutors began presenting evidence to a D.C. Superior Court grand jury.
