The Gun Culture exerts its power for common sense.
Chris Christie waited far too long, to issue a pardon in this case.
He should have been all over this, the first night.
This is a good development, But no Christie.
New Jersey poleeces later found a flintlock speedloader in his vehicle, and re-instated the charges...
Good. Never know when you might need to kill a Redcoat.
This proves that the second amendment applies only to musketsand flintlocks.
A google of Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae brings up a few different law suits.

It doesn’t say if the gun was returned (or I just missed it at this early hour). I’m sure someone at the Po Po was looking to take the flintlock home when the old man was sent to prison.
They wouldn’t have arrested him in the first place, but the flintlock had a bayonet lug, a flash suppressor AND a selector switch; so really, their hands were tied.
Thank heavens!
Thank goodness! I am very happy this man doesn’t have to face what could have been a life sentence for something so STUPID! My prediction, however, is they dropped the charges if he agreed to surrender the gun.
