Possession of Firearms in Home, begets New Jersey Man 30 days in Jail
Ammo Land ^ | Mar. 6, 2013 | Attorney Evan F. Nappen

Posted on 03/06/2013 11:26:26 AM PST by EXCH54FE

Hudson County, New Jersey --(Ammoland.com) At approximately 10pm on Thursday night, January 24, 2013, 33-year-old Keith Pantaleon of Jersey City, New Jersey, was in the bedroom of his apartment watching television after a full day’s work – when he heard thumping noises coming from his living room.

Believing that his residence may be being broken into, he grabbed his soft-bound Day Planner case (which also held a lawfully purchased handgun), and cracked open his bedroom door to investigate.

In the center of his living room, he saw a man dressed entirely in dark clothing who had his back towards him. He cracked open his door slightly further and saw near the entrance to his apartment a police officer, his landlord, and an EMT worker.

When the man dressed in dark clothing in the middle of his living room turned around, he saw it was another police officer.

One of the officers immediately ordered Pantaleon to come out of his bedroom. Pantaleon tossed his unopened Day Planner case onto his bed. As he went to close his bedroom door behind him, one of the officers pushed him into his living room. The officer then ordered Pantaleon to face a corner of his living room and handcuffed him. One of the officers allegedly threatened Pantaleon that if he had pulled out a firearm, he would have shot him. Officers asked if Pantaleon owned any firearms. To which, he did not reply.

As one of the officers watched Pantaleon (who remained in custody in Pantaleon’s living room), the other officer warrantlessly searched Pantaleon’s bedroom – which including opening cabinets and his Day Planner case – then demanded that Pantaleon provide the PIN# combination to his safe, which the officer proceeded to open and search.

Nothing is perfect, however if it is “State Rights” if I don't like the state I can move to a state that has Laws that I like.

With the Fed's I'm stuck, MOST Fed Law applies to All the states (Some Fed Laws do not apply in states that have state constitutions stating that that Law does not apply)I bet that is open to debate :-)

I just may move back to Alaska (I do like Tennessee, it is warmer in the winter) :-)Texas is also looking good!!

This case is absolutely ripe for Jury Nullification!

In a civilized place, maybe, but Nazi Jersey? Where the scum elect the likes of Lautenberg, Menendez, Corzine, and Christie?
Good luck with that.

The wise thing is to simply stay far, far away from that foul toilet.

It’s based on state of mind, not size of your body. :-)

Shouldn't the 2nd Amendment? I don't see where the states have the power to restrict the 2nd Amendment anymore than the 1st.

A “Right” States were not given. Expressly prohibited in fact.

State Rights stop where Individual Rights begin.

Why were the police even there to begin with?

First question that popped into my mind, and not a word about the obvious question.
21st century news reporters are required to have an IQ no higher than 70.
