This is insane. New Jersey does not understand the “shall not be infringed” part of the 2nd Amendment.
Don’t be silly. The Founders never envisioned people being armed with highly dangrous weaponry such as flintlock pistols...
Of course it is.
The ancient Greeks have a phrase covering that: “Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.”
America has lost her mind and Barack Obama is all the evidence needed.

When can police search your car?
Whether they frisk you or not, police may ask you a series of questions. They will probably include something like “You don’t mind if I have a look in your car?” Beware of that question: It’s the legal loophole that the officer wants to snare you in. (It might even sound like a command, but it’s technically a request.)
In response to such request, you may politely decline by saying “Officer, I know you’re just doing your job, but I don’t consent to searches.” Some officers may use their authority to make you feel obligated to prove your innocence by asking “What do you have to hide?” Don’t fall for such tricks. If necessary, repeat your refusal.
Remember: The 4th Amendment protects your right to refuse search requests, but it doesn’t require police to tell you about your right to refuse. In fact, consenting to searches automatically makes them legal in the eyes of the law. So if you’re pulled over, don’t try to figure out whether or not the officer has probable cause to legally search you. You always have the right to refuse searches.
Refusing a search request is not an admission of guilt and does not give the officer the legal right to search or detain you. In fact, most avoidable police searches don’t occur because police have probable cause. They occur because people get tricked or intimidated into consenting to search requests.

Meanwhile, the guy in charge of this insanity is gearing up to run for president as a republican.
They also missed the part about searches and seizures without probable cause. Indeed, what possible cases could this dick cop have for searching the car of a 72 year old man after a routine traffic stop.
It wouold be funny if it were not tragic.
How many disarmists have said that the second amendment only applies to flintlocks?
Not in New Jersey.
They understand it alright, they just do not abide by it. The only recourse is, if you even think the word gun, stay the hell out of New Jersey. Let them do their own gardening.
This one story would have been enough to spark the 1st American Revolution. We no longer have the right to even pretend that we live in a free country.
i think even the most liberal of judges would conseed that a flintlock is covered by the second amemdment.
I had a co-worker who had to move out to Jersey after MaBell spun off Bell Labs with Lucent, (Stupid ass mistake if you ask me) and our location had to move there or separate.
This woman was an NRA qualified instructor. She also had an Indiana Carry Permit. According to her; Her Jersey real estate agent, a retired Jersey cop, was amazed she had a CCW, as he, a retired cop, was supposedly not allowed.
1. NEVER consent to a search. If you don’t use the 4th amendment you don’t have it.
2. So, wonder what the “the 2nd amendment only protects muskets” crown will have to say about this.
3. How many reasons do you need to not live in New Jersey?
