Well I am glad he got out of the charges but the Mom's Demand Action group is a laugh. They pulled I594 wool over the peoples eyes but that's o.k. I forgot it's o.k for them to do it!

I hope he sues the bubbleguming bubblegum out of everyone involved.

"There are now legislators in New Jersey who have filed bills to fix this problem and remove 'antique handgun' from being treated the same as a modern handgun. This is necessary, however, in the big picture all New Jersey gun laws need to be reformed because they systematically turn law abiding citizens into criminals."

When I first read this I thought that there may be hope for NJ gun owners; With Christie (the epitome of all RINO's) eyeing the White House, if the pro-gun folks could get a couple RKBA bills to him he would pass a couple just to convince the rest of the nation that he's a conservative. That's when I remembered that no pro 2A bills would make it to his desk.


It won't go anywhere because the D's own both the Senate and General Assembly.

how exactly do you transport a handgun in NJ, if unloaded in the glove box is a felony?

Unloaded, in a locked container, and if possible, in the trunk.
