I guess you missed the part where he called the police of NJ and asked about transporting the weapons and was abiding by what they told him? The judge simply threw that testimony out and wouldn't let it be mentioned to the jury.
hmmm.. i believe you are right, and i missed that part.
but i would also add that simply calling the police is not good enough. Most police are actually instructed to not give advice on current laws and what they mean. It is your duty to look up the law itself.
I’m not trying debate anything but simply state that even though the law is wrong, it isnt an excuse to break it. It doesn’t matter what the police told him.
“But, ignorance of the law isn’t an excuse to break it.”

Exactly right and not only did he ask and comply with NJ law, he asked and complied with transporting from Colorado, checked the airlines, etc. and properly stored them unloaded and in their cases in his trunk.
A complete pardon would have been better but it looks like the guy is going to appeal the conviction too.
In NJ the guns laws are so confusing that most people, even LE don’t understand them all.
In this corrupt state a common NJ street thug can buy a gun in less than an hour. If they are caught, after a plea bargain be out on the street in a month and do it all over again.
These laws only impede the law abiding citizens of NJ.
