His dreams of becoming a police officer were dashed when an arrest two years ago for carrying a legally-owned firearm made him a convicted felon, but now that he's been pardoned, Steffon Josey-Davis is fielding job offers from around the country.
Just one week after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pardoned him of all criminal charges, the 24-year-old told FoxNews.com he's received encouraging emails and even job offers from police departments as far away as Colorado. Many became aware of Josey-Davis' plight after several stories by FoxNews.com described how an honest mistake with a legally owned gun nearly made him ineligible to wear a badge. After having his record wiped clean,the North Brunswick man finds himself a wanted man - by police departments.
"They saw that I was innocent and they saw my dedication to become something," Josey-Davis said of the offers. "I feel so blessed."

Move as far politically and geographically as you can from NJ.
Anyone a link to the original story here on FR?
IIRC he was railroaded by an anti-gunner prosecutor.
What’s Christie doing to change the the gun laws of NJ?
Time will tell.
Can he be a police officer now?
After all, doesn’t the felony still exist despite the pardon?
He waited long enough didn’t he.
Yes. He sure did. I hope people aren’t going to praise Christie for doing the right thing after 2 years of criminal governmental conspiracy.
At least, according to the article, the felony is wiped clean.
The real question is what is Christy going to do to rid New Jersey of leftist assholes and ideologues?
I wonder if the prosecutor/DA who went after this man can be fired by the Governor? That would be a great start to cleaning out the leftist rot that is destroying the state.
Good deal.

They’re only interested in helping “aspiring rappers” and other low-level rabble.
Thanks, I knew someone else would be a better searcher than I was.
They pardoned him of all criminal charges?
Why?
Does everyone get these political breaks or just certain people?
Freaking New Jersey and their fascist approach to gun laws. I drive to the NE frequently and will NOT purchase anything in NJ, NY or CT.
Selective enforcement.
Will Christie pardon everyone with the same kind of conviction and no other felonies?
No.
