Pantaleon lawfully purchased his firearms as a prior resident of Pennsylvania. He also possesses permits to carry firearms from Nevada and Florida. Pantaleon has no prior criminal convictions and no mental health history. He is not accused of misusing or threatening to use any firearms. No unlawful purpose for said possessions has been alleged.

Despite the above, his bail was set at $75,000.00 cash or bond, which the 33-year-old did not have. A friend of Pantaleon’s, however, brought awareness of his matter on the Internet, which raised funds to hire the law firm of Evan F. Nappen, Attorney at Law PC to represent.

Ve have vays to make you talk.

This case is absolutely ripe for Jury Nullification!

Cheers!

Why were the police even there to begin with?

The firewall won't let me go to sites about guns.

Why didn't you post the whole article?

[SnakeDoctor]

I’d rather hear the rest of the story first. Seems completely unjust from that account ... but that was written by his lawyer, so I wouldn’t take it for gospel.

So the police barge into his apartment to fix the heater? Unbelieveable.

Black people are not allowed to own guns in Chris Christie’s New Jersey.

That should be someone’s campaign slogan when they run against that big, fat, RINO.

Sue, sue, sue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The police, the prosecutors, the system, will be able to go after this man as hard as they can, spend all the tax dollars they can, do whatever they want, and in the end, if they get him then they get him, if they don’t get him, then they still continue on with no repercussions, no firings, no loss of pensions or any change or cost, they just keep showing up for work and going home when their shift is over.

He has already paid dearly, is paying dearly now, and will be paying dearly for some time to come, perhaps for many years, and the best that he can hope for, is that he isn’t completely convicted and sentenced above and beyond this portion of the ordeal that he is currently immersed in.

Which one of his liberal “friends” ratted him out as a dangerous gun owner? The police had no reason to visit him, let alone search his quarters unless that was the case.

Wish him a successful lawsuit!

[FunkyZero]

this is pretty damned blatant... I almost feel like there should be more to this story. Of course, I'm always skeptical of stories like these no matter which side tells it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fanboy for authorities and the abuses they tend to get by with. I believe we need to go back to holding the individual LEO's personally liable when they violate someones rights instead of punishing the taxpayer and giving the cop 2 day paid suspensions.

[Vigilanteman]

I would post what I really thought about New Jersey.

But I just flushed it down.

[Alaska Wolf]

From the article; " New Jersey’s ammunition prohibition only applies to handgun ammunition"

So it's illegal to possess handgun ammunition in New Jersey? Including .22?

news article from original Jan 29 arrest. They apparently just walked into his house without warrant or justification.

[ScottfromNJ]

Where’s the NRA? Let’s hope they step up to the plate and start spending some of their money to fight these unconstitutional acts and help people like this. The 3rd circuit is loaded with old Reagan and Bush appointees, would be nice to see some legal challenges for a change but these type of unlawful acts by police along with NJ’s unconstitutional gun laws seem to go unchallenged.

[Focault's Pendulum]

Damn! I grew up in downtown Jersey City. Eighteen of my 57 years. If you got mugged, raped, or assaulted, the police would usually ask, "Why weren't you carrying a gun?"

When I was 11, I had my baseball glove taken from me by a group of older boys in Hamilton Park. While we were cruising the neighborhood in the patrol car looking for them, One of them (there were 2 per car those days)looked back at me and asked why didn't use my knife. I told him I left it at school. he said "Don't forget it again."

Very true story.

To Obama the constitution is officially null and void. He wants to be like is hero - the late Joesph Stalin and Hugo Chavez.

[TigersEye]

I think I see the problem here...

...In possession of firearms while black.

Just...WOW!

[Alas Babylon!]

Doesn't Heller vs DC negate such an arrest, if gun possession in his home is the only "offense"?
