Can’t we just cut off New Jersey and float them down to Cuba? They can take Philadelphia and Scranton with them.
In Texas the law says you have a “duty to inform” the police if you have a weapon.
Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t.
Where is doughboy in all of this — breaking doughnuts with the doughnut munchers that arrested her??
I’m willing to bet that Ms. Allen has voted Democrat since she turned 18. I feel bad for her and her children but:
1. She should know exactly which states have reciprocation with PA.
2. Never talk to the Police unless required to.
There is an excellent App called CCW in Google Store (probably Apple store too), that has a map on reciprocation and laws within each state on carrying. I’ve look at it every time I take a trip (and why I will never go to SC).
Please be assured, I was not poking fun at you, but the original author. I did not mean to imply otherwise.
Such typos are great for gathering extra posts and gaining attention to the article.

I actually have a box of .40 SW Hornaday “Zombie Stoppers”. Pretty funny.
As of yesterday's spot prices ...
A 230 gr silver bullet would cost $10.91 in materials. Figure in the brass, powder & primer, you're probably up to about $11.50 per round. A tad expensive ... but then what is your immortal soul worth?
Agree, of course.
Can’t help but note the vicious cycle. By and large, single moms are responsible for the people against which this single mom needs to defend herself.
In MN you have to tell, if you’re asked.
In Texas, we won't put you in jail for a legal firearm.
According to her picture and DL, she is OTW.
Where are Al and Jesse?
*crickets*
There is a similar case where a guy travel thru NJ but stopped at his mothers. His mother was concern that he just divorced his wife and might commit suicide. She called the cops to find him. Cops later located him back at his mothers. When ask where his guns were, he told them they were in his car, because he was moving from his old home to a new apartment at a new out of state location. The cops confirmed the story and the guns were packed in the guys towed trailer on the bottom of all his household items. When the report reached the local DA, the DA decided to press charges. According to NJ law, when traveling to old location to new location, one cannot deviate from a reasonable direct route nor can one make stops along the way. Stopping at his mothers place was a violation of NJ gun transportation laws.
Another similar case involved a former out of state police officer who was traveling thru NJ to his new location out of state. He decided to park in a lot to rest and dozed off. Cops came by an noticed a lone car with driver in it and stopped to check. The awoken driver explained what happen and showed ID. One cop noticed the thru the station wagon window some boxes that look like possible gun cases and ordered a search of the vehicle for firearms. Packed guns were found and the out of state driver was charged with violating NJ transportation of gun laws, person must travel from old location directly to new location. No unreasonable stops allowed. Both of these individuals went to jail. Gov Christie commuted the sentence of the first one, but the arrest is still on his record and his right to own guns in the US is forfeited.
“In Texas the law says you have a “duty to inform” the police if you have a weapon.”
According to my CCW app (for Texas),
Sec411.187 has been amended effective 9/1/09 to remove any penalty (sec 2a) for breaking 411.205

You are supposed to, but there is no penalty for not doing so. I would confirm this is still accurate, obviously.
They need better proofreaders.
My judge, a very wise man, dismissed the case, admonishing the young man that in the future, when he traveled outside Alaska he should leave his gun at home. Reading what the judge in New Jersey said, namely, that the young mother should not have opened her mouth and everything would have been OK, I question the practical wisdom of this particular judge. His decision not did not do anything to deter crime, it punished an innocent person from protecting herself against it.
This is what gun control is! This is exactly what the Democrats want.
Gun control laws are intended only to prevent honest hard working citizens from being able to defend themselves. That is all they are.
Where Democrat politicians are in charge they make sure that the street criminals and thugs have plenty of guns available. They make sure the violent criminals have nothing to worry about.
A few miles from here a career criminal who killed innocent people and shot a policeman was memorialized and treated like a hero.
Meanwhile honest, hard working citizens are expected to live in fear.
This arrest and prosecution is doubly outrageous given the racist roots of gun control legislation.
It is a law in many states that if you are pulled over by the cops you must disclose that you have a CC permit, even if you do not have the gun in the car. That’s the FIRST thing you say to the cop who pulls you over.
If you do not say it and they run your ID and find out you are a CC permit holder, and you didn’t disclose it up front, you could be in trouble much like this woman was in trouble.
She was probably remembering this law from her CC classes. Too bad that she did not remember the part about different States having different laws.
Another crime with no victim.
