My advice to him is as follows:

1. Leave New Jersey.
2. Go to a Right-to-Carry state.

4. Buy a gun.
5. Get the permit.
6. Carry the gun.

I just wanted to clarify a misconception in John Floyd's comment below.
I am not a Muslim. I'm an apostate--I was born in Islam, but left it.

Word has it that he's sharing a condo with Rushdie in northern Idaho........
