if your neighbor is a police officer - you have easy money

[chopperman]

In there, he specifically says if you see someone ‘carrying an illegal gun’.

[mort56]

How special. The Mayor of a major US city will give you cash if you help him to strip the rights guaranteed every US citizen, the right to bare arms. When will these fools figure out that a well armed citizenry prevents violence and not the other way around. When you take arms away from law abiding Americans only the criminals and crazies have guns? It's a recipe for disaster.

That said, I'm taking my puppy for a walk and if anyone’s interested I will also be accompanied by my M&P shield chambered with Hornady’s 115 grain 9mm JHP Critical Defense rounds and enough bags to pick up his poop. God, I love the South!

$1,000 REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE ARREST AND CONVICTION OF ANYONE CARRYING AN ILLEGAL GUN

An illegal gun would be one carried by a felon, an illegal alien, or anyone else carrying without a permit, so I see nothing wrong with this program.

[jughandle]

Finally my ticket to riches!!!! Of course, I’ll be in jail with all my neighbors.

Oh, ILLEGAL guns... Dang.

[Jewbacca]

Just another way to “SWAT” your enemy, I suspect.

Be a shame if people started turning in registered democrats for havign guns, using pay phones.

[gemoftheocean]

” him to strip the rights guaranteed every US citizen, the right to bare arms.”

With respect I have to disagree. I’m damn sick and tired of looking at Moochie’s bare arms. [Gud speling is impordant, cos udderwise you might get an unintentional laff.]

[Fido969]

Make it a $100 reward for turning in your neighbor for illegal DRUGS, and they might make a dent in the crime.

[Red Barr]

My response to the article regarding if your neighbor is a police officer.

It would be wise not to say one word to your neighbor or neighbors if you have a GUN, because they would be the first to call the cops in what you have.

[Red Barr]

I DON’T TRUST COPS THEY WOULD BE THE FIRST
TO CALL HOMELAND SECURITY AND HAVE YOUR GUNS TAKEN.

[ModelBreaker]

Wow. I kept expecting the mayor to say, “But wait, there’s more!!”

[jakerobins]

Right to Bare Arms! I'm Larry the Cable Guy and I approve this message...(That's funny I don't care who you are)

[Political Junkie Too]

Next will be a reward for turning in your neighbor for illegal riches.

See a box on the curb for an 80" flat-panel HD TV? Turn him in.

See a new Lexus LS 460 sitting in someones driveway? Turn him in.

See someone go away for a Mediterranean cruise vacation? Turn him in!

How about just an honest citizen who wants to protect himself from armed muggers in a dangerous neighborhood, in a state (NJ) where TPTB won't "grant" honest citizens a "permit" to carry a firearm, in spite of the clear language of the 2nd Amd?

You would turn that otherwise law-abiding citizen in to the police? Really?

200 years ago the Sons of Liberty would have tarred and feathered the offending "Tory".

F'ing socialists need the same dose of justice.

[1_Rain_Drop]

How would one know at first glance if a gun is illegal? Does it glow in the dark or something?

[mort56]

Thanks for my English lesson. I meant “bear” instead of “bare”. What are you twelve or simply a jackass?

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

You see that little trick he played? How many times did he just say “gun”, before *once* saying “illegal gun”?

I suspect they are hoping to get a listing of *legal* gun owners, based on informants, and then *not* paying the informants their “thousand dollahs”, because the guns are legal.

However, this being said, I think it is a STUPENDOUS opportunity to monkey wrench these petty tyrants.

For instance, there are probably lots of places where there are crack houses, gang houses, etc., that the police do not bust, because they are afraid of them. But now such places can be narked as “where they have an illegal gun”.

So “Da Mayor” will order the police to bust those places, and in the process clean out the crack smokers and gang bangers. Haw-haw! Making the police arrest real criminals rather than harass honest citizens with legal guns.

[ConradofMontferrat]

So your neighbor Zelda Armpit pees herself when she even sees a picture of a “gunz”.

You have a permit or other lawful means of moving around with your weapon.

Do you really think Zelda isn’t going to drop a quarter on you ever time she sees you?

What you are saying is that liberal bed wetters actually can tell the difference between a legal and illegal carry. Sorry my man, to a pinko, all gunz are illegal.

The cops will be deluged and legal owners will be forced to hide.

And what about the jerkmoron neighbor who just wants to ruin your day for sh!tz and giggles?

Oh wow, this is just bad, bad, bad.

Rat cher neighbor out, we pay cash!

[ConradofMontferrat]

Hey Mort! Lighten up!

They weren’t dissing you, but having a chuckle at your expense!

Even I, the biggest grammar nazi on the planet, go typo twit every now and then. Sooo, I take the obligatory abuse with a smile.

Oh, and by the way, I wish I was twelve again, now I’m simply an old JA.LOL

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Obey the law or change the law, but break the law at your own peril.

This is not about Illinois where “honest citizens” may not be issued a carry permit. Residents of New Jersey may be issued concealed carry permits.

The problem with an illegal gun is that it’s difficult to use for self-defense. Because if you do, the cops will want to get a look at it, and even though the bad guy may be dead, you may be facing a felony.

And and illegal gun in NJ, I believe is simply one that is not registered with the state.

You would have made a great German back in the 30s. As it is, you will make a great slave when the time comes.

So you have no problem with illegal guns?

What is an “Illegal” gun?

[Travis McGee]

NJ is a “may issue” state, which means that only politically-connected ass-kissers will get a “permit” to bear arms, a right explicitly enshrined in the BOR.

All of the rest of the ordinary NJ peasants? Fuggedabowdit.

So if you agree with a “snitch your neighbor” policy in NJ, then as far as I’m concerned, you are no friend of freedom, but you are rather trending toward being a jackboot-licker.

IMHO.

[Travis McGee]

"You would have made a great German back in the 30s. As it is, you will make a great slave when the time comes."

So you have no problem with illegal guns?

When the definition of "illegal guns" is any gun carried in NJ by an honest citizen for self-protection, in a "MAY" carry state where you have to be a politically-connected boot-licker to get a "permit" to exercise your 2nd Amd rights, yes.

I have a big problem with policiticans who deem such guns to be "illegal," (in spite of the plain English in the 2nd Amd), and offer $1,000 dollar rewards for snitches to report them to the StaSi.

And I have an even bigger problem with boot-licking StaSi informants who love that program, and are happy to inform on their fellow citizens.

[Yo-Yo]

[tomkat]

. . shall NOT be infringed.

(and it sounded just as boot-licking the 2nd time too)

[Red in Blue PA]

I agree with you in theory, but in reality, 99% of those carrying guns in the inner cities are doing so illegally. They are the outlaws of our day and must be dealt with somehow. They are also the ones causing our 2A rights to be whittled away.....so I see no problem nailing if they can get them.

In 2011 I had several guns stolen......would not be surprised if they were in Newark. That is what they mean by illegal guns.

There are no "illegal guns".

They're "undocumented firearms".

[MaxMax]

I wouldn't break the law. but what I would do here is place
a big fat sign in the yard that reads;

"Beware, Armed Citizen", just before my two week vacation.
Imagine all the neighbors who would try to cash in first. Idiots.

[jmcenanly]

It sounds like something Ayn Rand might have considered for Atlas Shrugs but discarded it because she thought it was too extreme. However, I wouldn't put it past some of today's liberals.

[OneWingedShark]

An illegal gun would be one carried by a felon, an illegal alien, or anyone else carrying without a permit, so I see nothing wrong with this program.

I do. The underlined portion illustrates a fundamental flaw in your thinking; in order for a permit to be valid the action being permitted cannot be one that is inherent to man. And example of this: permits to rally or protest -- these are absolutely illegitimate because you as a person have a right to express your opinion. Likewise, the permitting of weapons assumes that a man does not have an inherent right to protect himself.

[Secret Agent Man]

it could be the permit part that others will disagre with you on, seeing that it turns a right into a govt-revocable privilege, if you can even get a permit in the first place.

[CodeToad]

Tagline.

[Travis McGee]

I think most Americans won’t miss freedom at all, as long as they have a big-screen TV and a six-pack.

[chopperman]

It seems more likely to harass the legal owners.

[SuperLuminal]

Hmmm..Sounds simple...

Please provide a description of someone carrying an illegal gun...

Of course, if the gun is wearing a ski mask there would be no question when you spot someone carrying or otherwise possessing a gun...
