New Jersey gun laws suck! Ya Think?

Shaneen Allen, 27, was pulled over in New Jersey’s Atlantic County after making an unsafe lane change in the early morning hours of Oct. 1. Allen then told the officer that she had the .380 Bersa Thunder handgun, as well as a concealed carry permit for Pennsylvania, unaware that her permit was not transferable to The Garden State.

Allen, who has no criminal record, was later charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of hollow-point bullets. If convicted, the illegal possession of the handgun is a second-degree felony punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence of three years in prison.

Her attorney was quoted as stating, “New Jersey’s draconian and crazy gun laws gives the judge no discretion here — none! You will get three years with no chance of parole if you’re convicted of this gun charge. So in the effort of promoting gun control in New Jersey, they’ve created a situation where very sympathetic people get harmed and turned into the victim by gun laws.”

My take: Shaneen now faces a felony conviction, a loss of future employment possibilities and, in general, a ruined life over laws enacted by the State of New Jersey that were ill conceived from the start. I would urge all Americans to boycott this state and not visit it in the future!
