>If the State of New Jersey had recognized this woman’s constitutionally protected individual right to “bear arms” then she might be alive today.<

You know, I have been reading this nonsense for years and I have had enough. Anyone who lives in fear of another man and doesn’t have the guts and brains to arm themselves with the proper tools to remedy the situation is stupid. Yes, stupid. To think that you would let some state official hundreds of miles away from the situation determine whether you should carry a concealed firearm is ridiculous! Being alive is a much better choice than being dead. If you have to break a law to protect yourself, then for chrissakes do it!

In New Jersey the decision to carry a firearm illegal is a question weighing probabilities. You have to measure the probability of it helping you against the probability of it getting you sent to jail for a minimum of 5 years.

It might seem like an easy decision for you, but here, where we are essentially living in a police state and are all constantly coming into contact with law enforcement, it's not quite as simple as you make it sound. If you feel otherwise when you come to our state, by all means let me know, and I'll come visit you in prison.
