thats jacked up
Unbelievable at what is being allowed to be called justice in our country these days.
Yep. I never thought I would have to "chew out" the state I was born in, but hey, it's Jersey after all.
I'm going against the grain on this one. Jersey's law does suck...but he still violated it.
It doesn't look to me like he was transporting the weapon between residences. Colorado was his old residence and his apartment was his new one. He left Colorado in December, and was living in an apartment in Jersey by January, the month he was arrested. He left that apartment in Jersey, with guns in his car, to go pick up stuff from his mother's house.
Even if his mom's house qualified as his alternate residence, He was not transporting the guns to his mothers for storage and was not transporting them from his mother's to his apartment...he was driving around with them.
Sucks to be him, but don't drive around with guns in your car if you live in a gun unfriendly state.

I read the same article...
Nothing in the article shows that his mother's house was one of his residences. Nothing. Everything to do with Colorado is also irrelevent, since he completed his last trip from there in December. He had an apartment in Jersey, and lived in it as of January, the month he was arrested.
He stored some stuff at his mom's house. In January he drove from his apartment, with guns in his car, to his mother's house to pick up stuff. That is not transporting between residences. That is driving around with guns in your trunk.
That activity is not allowed for under Jersey law...as stupid as that law is, it's the law. Break it or push the limits of it at your own risk.

Mens rea? The guy bent over backwards to do the right thing, and still gets dinged. Governor Chris Christie is being called upon to just pardon the guy outright.
