America had better wake up and provide an answer to that question, else there will be no more America.
"The Second Amendment does not create 'a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever purpose,'" Judge Ronald B. Graves wrote for the panel. "Furthermore, the Second Amendment does not preclude the state from regulating the manner in which accessories must be transported."
This is fatuous reasoning by a Judge that needs to be impeached.
Why PA? You can open carry and CCW is a SHALL issue matter.Also sunsetted the Assault Weapons Ban so you can have all the bells and whistles.Castle Doctrine is also in effect.
tax dollars at work...extraditing this guy...Id imagine all this stuff was completely 'legal' in texas, so why the hell would they even hold him in the first place ???
The three-judge appellate panel insisted New Jersey's gun control laws do not violate the constitutional right to keep and bear arms, citing the Supreme Court's recent Heller decision.
gotta love it when the *conservative* jurist writes the open-ended progressive opinion that undercuts the ruling and the 2A...
a legal beagle/eagle needs to force a re-visit to the miller case...in absentia, of course...
I just read it, this is a very unfortunate case with him moving and just passing through the state.
I had to do similar when I moved to Maryland long ago but I had them hidden away pretty good in my hatchback at the time, and I didnt stay over in any intermediate states like NJ.
My guess is they targeted him because of his Texas plates.
Perhaps he should have had the guns in a SpongeBob backpack?
PA is not to be trusted.
Actually, it’s easy to transport guns in Illinois.
Every Chicago Mayor and their chief says so.
But, seriously, it isn’t hard to transport guns in Illinois and you can even stop and fall asleep.
As I read the rest of the story I realized this particular ex-cop has some issues with basic honesty and the law both in his home state and in NJ.
I believe in Constitutional Carry and hate the criminalization of mere possession of a gun or gun associated item. Yet, this story looks worse and worse. He’s no choirboy.

Wormleysburg PA is part of PA ~ not to be trusted. SEE: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3024901/posts
Bullcrap! Something is wrong with this story. Hollow points are certainly legal in NJ and can be purchased at any gun store as well as shotguns and rifles if the buyer carries this firearms registration card.
I own a mini van with no trunk and carry my weapons (unloaded of course) in the back of the van along with a bag full of boxed ammo. --- Never had a problem. I shoot with cops all the time.
“The Second Amendment does not create ‘a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever purpose,’”
Yes it does! These judges are illiterate and criminal.
He needs to keep filing appeals. This is a bull$hit charge.
Just for once in my lifetime, I wish that we would have a governor (or governors) as well as a president, who would be a true, patriotic, pro-American, pro-Christian, anti-muzzlim, anti-gay, fervently anti-socialist in all areas. It would be a refreshing change to have someone on our side in all areas for a change. And whenever some political activist, left-wing, socialist judge would make some dumb-ass ruling, to have the conservative gov or president simply thumb his nose at the ridiculous judicial ruling and to issue a governor or presidential edict that simply declares that judicial ruling to be null & void. And then to sit back and watch the liberal heads popping in rage & frustration. (Come to think of it, I think I described myself as the conservative governor or president... LOL).
Privileges? It’s an Inalienable Right.
His appeal should site the 2nd A, Heller, etc.
What I find most disturbing is the ‘panel’ of ‘judges’:
The three-judge appellate panel insisted New Jersey’s gun control laws do not violate the constitutional right to keep and bear arms, citing the Supreme Court’s recent Heller decision.
“The Second Amendment does not create ‘a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever purpose,’” Judge Ronald B. Graves wrote for the panel. “Furthermore, the Second Amendment does not preclude the state from regulating the manner in which accessories must be transported.”
Ummm, judge dipshit, can you show me WHERE in the Constitution?? I’ll even diagram out the 2nd for you.
“..When does it become a crime for exercising one’s right?” ...”
Whenever there are democrats in control.
“...”The Second Amendment does not create ‘a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever purpose,’” Judge Ronald B. Graves wrote for the panel. “Furthermore, the Second Amendment does not preclude the state from regulating the manner in which accessories must be transported.” ...:”
Clearly, this brain-dead piece of garbage that calls himself a judge isn’t fit to judge a beauty pageant.
“Shall Not Be Infringed” - if being locked up just for TRANSPORTING isn’t infringed, then what is?
“The Second Amendment does not create ‘a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever purpose,’” Judge Ronald B. Graves
What part of “shall not be infringed” do you not understand, Graves?
I think you have to disassemble them into their constituent parts, loading some parts in your vehicle, while mailing other parts to the destination, and then hauling your ammunition on a sled dragged at least 200 ft behind your vehicle.
The second amendment rights create an immunity from prosecution and punishment. That second amendment right doesn’t create a right to carry a loaded weapon while concealed.
But since New Jersey grants a privilege to carry a loaded weapon concealed to some of its citizens, that privilege must extended to citizens of other states. New Jersey must not demand that, to exercise that privilege, citizens register or take training outside their home state, just as New Jersey citizens are not required to register or take training outside their home state to exercise their privilege of carrying a concealed weapon.
The Constitution does not ‘create’ Rights; only tells what powers gov’t DOES possess.
I see nothing in the 2nd to back up your assertion; let alone, in this case, the weapon was 1) not worn 2) nor concealed, it was stowed for transport.
Does NJ ‘allow’ Citizens to open carry without a ‘license’? If not, then there is no Right. Any other Rights you suggest one needs ‘training’/permission from gov’t to utilize?
Did you read a different article than I did? I didn’t see anything on your list in the article!
