WATERLOO, Iowa — Campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination Saturday, Gov. Chris Christie said he'll likely pardon several out-of-staters legally permitted to carry their firearms in their home states who have been recently arrested in New Jersey under the Garden State's tough gun laws.

Elizabeth J. Griffith, of Daytona Beach, Fla., was arrested by U.S. Park Police on July 14 during a visit to Liberty State Park in Jersey City and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. She could face a ten year prison sentence because her Florida state-issued permit to carry a handgun is not recognized by New Jersey.

LOL Rushing right out there to issue a pardon this time unlike when the kid who wanted to be a cop was “caught” with his legal gun.

In the other case, Chunky C let the kid twist in the wind for a year or better.

New Jersey is just like Iowa, they think they are important.

Wrong.

He will say and do anything to get into the primaries....but guess what...his own state can’t stand him so why would he even worry about it?

If he weren’t merely trying to resuscitate a dying Presidential Campaign, I’d cheer.

He is waiting for the right time, during the presidential campaign cycle, to make sure his pardons get the most attention. I really feel sorry for innocent folks who have had their lives destroyed by NJ’s unconstitutional gun laws and then have to wait on Christie to pardon them.

Because he's a lying weasel?

This business of arresting, jailing, and financially ruining legal gun owners who make an honest mistake (or worse, are on flights diverted to LGA or EWR and get arrested for possession when they pick up their bags) is gross, and at least as far as NJ goes is TOTALLY Christie's fault.

If it the right thing to do 6 months from now, it is the right thing to do today.

They always slip in a weasel word. In this case, “likely”. Yeah, right Crispy Creme.
