A former United States Marine who traveled to New Jersey with a gun he legally owned — but which was not registered in New Jersey — is facing three years in prison for firearm law violations.
The three years is the minimum sentence that former Marine Sergeant Hisashi Pompey has to serve before he can even be eligible for parole under New Jersey’s strict gun control laws.
ABC 7 reports that Pompey did “three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan for which he received medals for bravery.” He was a military police sergeant.

“Almost as stupid as the Waco fuzz you boost. Who did the improbable of making biker gangs look good in comparison.”
That you side with the motorcycle gangs is sad.
Is not the Constitution the supreme civilian law? Long usurpatiin doesn’t equate to right.
“Finally he let his friend strap on a holster, get the handgun, LOAD the handgun, and then confront police.”
Not exactly. The Marine loaded and strapped on the handgun.
His friend pulled it from his holster.
Massachusetts, bad as it is, issues nonresident CCW permits. New York, New Jersey, and Maryland do not.
That’s how the extremists propagated homo marriage. How is it a government can require registration to exercise one Constitutional right, but photo ID for voting is said to violate the Constitution? And why isn’t there a journalism license?
I did not know that, thanks.
Should have added Maryland to my list, they have gotten just as bad as the others.
I was vacationing in the Poconos and accidently got in the wrong lane and ended up crossing the bridge into New Jersey and couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
“Hey what did rednecks ever do to deserve the aspersions?”
In most cases nothing, but I just wanted to “smoke out” this idiot who thinks where someone else lives is fair game for his “personal” derision. I am personally completely fed up with the all too frequently expressed comments here by some regarding the summary disposal of various parts of our country that they don’t like at the moment. “RedNeck Country” isn’t all that far behind the places “rednecks find objectionable.” The “Holy Land of Texas” is very close to becoming California only they don’t see it coming. In a very few more years, Texas’ big RAT-run cities in combination with their “Mexican Majority” counties that are now two deep along the Rio Grande, will garner enough voting muscle to take charge. Then Texas will look just like California, a state that in my youth was the #1 place for Republicanism.
“And why isn’t there a journalism license?”
I for many years have wonder the same thing, when Barbers , Hairdressers and other assorted like professions, need license!
My Barber cannot cause the damage to the world, like a “Jounalist” can!
“That you side with the motorcycle gangs is sad.”
I don’t think he’s siding with motorcycle gangs, but he is siding with Whacko being a “criminal justice-free zone.” Having LEO’s who operate on the concept that certain people that they “don’t like, need killing” is foreign to most places, but it flourishes in Whacko. I am just waiting for the “legal process” to finally be forced to concede that Whacko PD is a criminal, murdering enterprise, and then crack open the City of Whacko’s coffers and give all the bikers a big piece of their financial pie. I’d consider it justice if Whacko had to declare bankruptcy as a consequence of their actions at Twin Peaks. Whacko and United Airlines are one in the same.
What a disgusting way to treat a citizen.
“I don’t think he’s siding with motorcycle gangs, “
He is. Apparently you are also.
Biker gangs are not entirely composed of willfully evil people. I wish that could be truthfully said of certain others. Letting a murderous plot play out brings serious question about that.
Biker gangs look better than some of your would be heroes.
“Having LEO’s who operate on the concept that certain people that they “don’t like, need killing” is foreign to most places, “
The only way to stop over 200 gangsters involved in a gun brawl at a family plaza is to use lethal force.
GEEZ. The bikers came and started the killing. Even bikers say the police acted appropriately and SAVED lives in the end.
another article has more detail. He was Military Police, and thought he was allowed to be armed
In his appeal, Pompey blamed his lawyer for failing to raise the Federal Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act of 2004 (LEOSA) in his defense.So, if the incident had occurred in2013 instead of 2011, he would have been authorized to be armed in NJ, as a federal law enforcement officer.However, the appellate panel judges said the law – which allows certain government personnel to carry concealed weapons across state lines – didn’t extend to military police when the incident occurred.
The list of "qualified law enforcement officers" at the time included those authorized to “engage in or supervise the prevention, detection, investigation, or prosecution of, or the incarceration of any person for, any violation of law, and has statutory powers of arrest,” the judges wrote in their decision.
MPs didn’t qualify because they had powers of apprehension and not arrest, they explained.
Congress amended the law in January 2013, adding military police to the class of qualified law enforcement officers permitted to carry firearms across state lines, the panel noted.
He would still have been a dumbass for bringing a gun into a nightclub brawl, and letting his friend take possession of his gun.
“Biker gangs are not entirely composed of willfully evil people. “
Some may be just stupid but they are led by the evil.
I’ll tell the Ammo Bros in Costa Mesa to close up shop.
“I don’t think he’s siding with motorcycle gangs, “
Yes he is. Look at his posts.
