A jury acquitted him of the charges for possession of the "assault firearms" and handgun possession but convicted him in absentia of illegal possession of hollow-point bullets, shotguns, rifles and a high-capacity magazine. He was apprehended in Texas and extradited to New Jersey.

tax dollars at work...extraditing this guy...Id imagine all this stuff was completely 'legal' in texas, so why the hell would they even hold him in the first place ???

The three-judge appellate panel insisted New Jersey's gun control laws do not violate the constitutional right to keep and bear arms, citing the Supreme Court's recent Heller decision.

gotta love it when the *conservative* jurist writes the open-ended progressive opinion that undercuts the ruling and the 2A...

a legal beagle/eagle needs to force a re-visit to the miller case...in absentia, of course...

I just read it, this is a very unfortunate case with him moving and just passing through the state.

I had to do similar when I moved to Maryland long ago but I had them hidden away pretty good in my hatchback at the time, and I didnt stay over in any intermediate states like NJ.

My guess is they targeted him because of his Texas plates.
