True, could have safety checked the gun before takin the photo. Potentially pointed in a safe direction, finger off trigger, obviously not screwing around. Just takin a photo with his 15/22. I would post a photo like that without fear of a swat team showing up at my house.
All true. I wouldnt have any concern about that picture either. The only pictures of me with guns are at a legal range Showing obvious safety measures.
 
Looks like it's getting national attention now:
Dad: This Picture of My Son Holding a Gun Triggered a Visit from NJ Police, Family Services | TheBlaze.com

It's a long article, but here's a funny paragraph at the end:
TheBlaze reached out to DYFS to confirm Moore’s account of the incident. The local office that covered the Carneys Point, NJ, area where Shawn Moore and his family live, would not respond to any questions from us. In fact, after our call was transferred to a “supervisor” named Lynette we were directed to the Trenton offices. When we requested a correct spelling of Lynette’s last name, she started to spell it and then suddenly stopped, saying, “I’m not comfortable giving you my name.” When we asked for a phone number to the Trenton office, Lynette told us “Google it. Goodbye.”Calls to the Trenton office of DYFS (now known as “The Division of Child Protection and Permanency”) have not yet been returned.

I think a few more calls to the Trenton office might be in order.
 
dyfs is one of them government agencies that should be ended and the funds put to better use maybe incorporate that into the police somehow like a school police that is in the schools and investigates these claims. i don't know just a stupid thought iI guess[lol]
 
Every Gun owner with kids should post a similar picture on Facebook... That way doing so would be the norm rather than an extreme..

Dyfs is the biggest social billy club ever concocted by the government for use by vindictive jerks for less than nobel reasons this country has ever seen.. and for that reason its a complete and utter failure.. As busy as they claim to be, I don't think there is 1 recorded case in NJ of where they actually prevented 1 case of child abuse.. They are like the police.. They chase ghosts until they are called to the scene AFTER .... AFTER... AFTER...a violent crime has been committed....


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo...[down][down]

I agree, We should flood their phones and E-mails now and DEMAND to know why credentials were not shown. Some stranger taking someone's kid is illegal, Did she show the cops her papers? How would WE know if she did or not? We have to show our papers when requested to do so.
 
What business is it of hers to make sure the guns were registered. Does registering a gun make it any less dangerous or not. Who the f&@$ does she think she is to just show up at your house , act like some rogue gestapo ATF agent , and play God w your constitutional rights. Just sickening. Hope he identifies this dyfus worker and sues the balls off the state.
 
The scariest part of all this might be the comments about the story on the NJ 12 Facebook page.

The level of stupidity and arrogance of the gun grabbers here in NJ is amazing. They have no understanding of what is at stake here. This is not only about the 2nd amendment, this also has to do with the 4th amendment and rights to privacy in our homes. All citizens, no matter who you voted for for president, should be outraged.
 
and you guys don't think the cops will come around to take your weapons. "Just following orders". When the government or the UN directs them to confiscate weapons...they will. They all but busted this guys door down because of a dyfs worker.
 
leave it up to NJ.com to write a lopsided article like this... wow scatterbrain journalism

Salem County dad's Facebook gun photo: How could authorities have ignored it? | NJ.com
I checked out the article, and it's actually not as terrible as I'd expected. They actually admitted that the gun wasn't an "assault weapon."

"The gun turned out to be a .22 caliber housed in a replica of an assault rifle, although that was far from clear from the photo."

Now, if they'd only add one digit to .22, we'd be getting somewhere.
 
What gets me is that (4) police officers (GROWN MEN) ..That know this is not right still go ahead with this..If any of those officers were off duty and police came to their house with the same concern..they would act the same as this home owner did..i just don't get it why just because you carry a badge you follow along without speaking out ..saying "this is wrong and we know it".

add a digit for what? It was a 22lr, they ran the story as if it were a toy then went back and edited it. Stating it was a .22 is correct.

The PD did nothing but escort the nut from DYFS. They requested an escort since it was night time and there was firearms at the residence. Standard procedure for those dipshits to request a local or state PD escort whenever they feel threatened. The PD had nothing to do with this other than walking to the door with her.
