“Oooh! Yes!!!!” Legislation, that’ll set the tyranny straight, yup.
read the article fool
Is there no justice or common sense and only a government of jack booted “public servants” with gold plated benefits who apparently have license to run ramshod over those who pay to operate it?
I belong to the NRA because I expect them to step up to the plate with the help of my donations and back-up victims of such predatory government policy. This is an outrage.
The Nazi state of New Jersey, where only criminals can safely possess a firearm. Democrat politicians, left to their own devices will happily take all of us to this place. And they will be fully supported by our draconian judiciary. It’s for our own safety, don’t you know.
I’ve always said that Liberty International Airport in Newark is the @$$hole of this nation. I will never fly to or through New Jersey ever again.
Your tag line is ashamed of that post.
Maybe he went after the wrong people?
If he checked the gun legally in Utah, and the late flight
caused the delay, doesn’t the airline bear some responsibility for this snafu?
I’m just wondering about the competence of his attorney.
None of this diminishes the outrage, but maybe he fought the wrong battle to start.
I would suppose, knowing that the gun was “radioactive” in New Jersey, he was expected to abandon the luggage? Or to ask the airline to handle it themselves and forward it to the intended destination? Or to ask police to take the gun from the luggage so he could then take possession of the remainder?
One thing, common sense did not govern. And we can hardly expect gun grabber Christie to care.
Couldn’t you have avoided cramming your foot in your mouth?
Did you really read what happened?
Not just Democrats. The current incumbent and his AG Paula Dow are hardly pro-Second Amendment.
The password is 'jailbreak'.
“Or to ask the airline to handle it themselves and forward it to the intended destination?”
Evidently the only way to avoid breaking local law.
“And we can hardly expect gun grabber Christie to care.”
Since all this happened long before Christie became Governor, the comment is inappropriate.
Mr Revell made an honest and natural mistake by claiming his luggage, and ran afoul of our stupid New Jersey gun laws. It sounds as though it was straightened out in 10 days by the local D.A. behaving rationally, which you certainly can’t always count on. Technically Revell was in violation of New Jersey law, and he’s very lucky he wasn’t blackmailed into pleading guilty to something in order to avoid prison. Given normal doctrines of sovereign immunity Revell really never had a tort case, and was foolish to waste his time in court. If he had made the same gun mistake in NYC, he would probably still be in prison.
And the State, it seems, is TECHNICALLY in violation of this [federal] law:

Ah, but we mere peons have no standing; I keep making the mistake that Governments [and their agents] should be bound by law as well.
Wouldn’t Christie’s signature be needed on any remedial legislation or private bill to reimburse Revell?
