"Jersey Sucks"

The state of New Jersey told an Army officer dealing with terror threats at Picatinny Arsenal in Wharton that there is no “justifiable need” for him to have a concealed carry permit.

Lt. Col. Terry S. Russell, the product manager for the Army’s Individual Weapons and Small Arms program, requires a Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance for his job. The base where he works was chosen as a terrorist “dry run” for a a Vehicle Borne Improved Explosive Device, and hackers have tried to obtain information on personnel.

Regardless, Oceanport Police Chief Daniel W. Barcus still denied the solider a permit, a decision ultimately backed last month by Superior Court Judge Joseph Oxley.

“None of these threats appear to specifically relate to this applicant — he is in no different position than any other person who is assigned to that facility,” Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni said in a Jan. 29 letter to the judge after Col. Russell appealed the police chief’s decision, New Jersey radio station WKXW-FMreported Friday.

Mr. Gramiccioni said that if Col. Russell were granted a permit for protection, then others stationed at Picatinny Arsenal would apply using the same rationale.

Lt. Col. Russell holds a senior position at the base, the station reported. He also has 27 years in service.


Though the soldier’s attorney, Evan F. Nappen, argued that the denial “puts national security at risk,” the judge sided with the police department at an April 5 hearing, thanking Col. Russell for his service before rejecting his appeal.

“Jersey sucks,” one of the station’s readers wrote Sunday in response to the news. “End of story. Move to a state that actually recognizes the 2nd Amendment because every single criminal and thug has a weapon — and you don’t.”

“This is why many of the so-called ‘common sense regulations’ are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Bottom line: You can’t trust the government — state or local,” added another.

why do all the trees in Pennsylvanian lean to the east... because jersey sucks..

for the record... you can not have own or posses a BB gun in New Jersey

you can not have own or posses a slingshot in New Jersey

you can not have own or posses a "pea shooter" in New Jersey

you can not have own or posses a Taser in New Jersey

you can not have own or posses a airsoft gun in New Jersey

transporting any real gun can get you in a ----load of trouble as the rules are very complicated .
so DO NOT take any gun or ammo of any sort to DC, NYC, Maryland or New Jersey.

you need a "permit" to buy any gun,... so naturally they have a complete registry of all law abiding gun owners..

and Christie has done a few small things to ease up on the enforcement, but not in the laws themselves
he did thwart an effort to make them more draconian.
CHRISTIE: If you look at my record as governor of New Jersey, I have vetoed a 50-caliber rifle ban. I have vetoed a reduction this clip size. I vetoed a statewide I.D. system for gun owners and I pardoned, six out-of-state folks who came through our state and were arrested for owning a gun legally in another state so they never have to face charges.
The governor vetoed a ban on a powerful model of assault weapon after originally advocating for the ban

Q: But gun control is part of it.

A: Well, it can be. And I've signed some of those measures

take a look at why he vetoed the 50 cal ban
On gun control, Christie explained why he vetoed an outright ban on the powerful Barrett .50 caliber rifle, even though he initially proposed a ban on future purchases. He blamed Democrats for going back on their word during negotiations with him. "If they break a deal with me, then there's going to be ramifications,"

as payback to the liberals who crossed him.. not as a principle.


2009: No right-to-carry cross-state reciprocity
The governor opposed a move in Congress that would effectively override NJ's strict laws against concealed weapons although NJ's entire Republican House delegation voted for it. The "right-to-carry reciprocity" bill would allow anyone with a valid permit to carry in their home state the same right in any other state.

"I believe that each state should have the right to make firearms laws as they see fit. I don't believe it's right for the federal government to get into the middle of this and decide firearms laws for the people of the state of NJ," Christie told "The Record" in July 2009.

A: I favor some of the gun-control measures we have in NJ.

A: We have a densely populated state, and there's a big handgun problem in NJ. On certain gun control issues, looking at it from a law-enforcement perspective

Q: Should every citizen in your state be allowed to get a licensed weapon if they want one?

A: In NJ, that's not going to happen.

A: I want to make sure that we don't have an abundance of guns out there

and as Christie stands with Trump... hopefully Trump is listening to the people and not Christie..
