Poor guy made the mistake of thinking that he was still in America. Right across the river IN America - they probably just hold onto the gun while he is there and hand it right back as he leaves.

Not in the USSNJ, though.

volutarily submitted his vehicle to a complete search as is the custom.

I would think this statement has to be false, I would believe its mandantory search.

In America, it's a common occurance to have a gun in your car. I have a couple, they are there all the time if I need them.

NOT on a nuclear power plants property. They do not and should not mess around there. My father has been working at Oyster Creek for 25 years and even he has to go through security checks every single day. There is stuff in that plant that is very dangerous if not handled properly. Only qualified security are allowed to have a firearm on the property. Ignorance is no excuse.

Ignorance is no excuse.

[confused]


It wouldn't be that hard to check guns in at the security point and then check them out again on the other side of the 'gate' now would it?

Enough of the sanctimonious - crucify him - crap puleez!

This man clearly did not work there every day.

Honest mistake. Should he be locked up as a felon for 7 years??

He was still in America. He was entering private property where you are not allowed to have a gun unless authorized. Simple concept. After 9/11 you dont bring guns to a nuclear power plant period. Im glad to see the security guards did their job.

 

[bloodtrails]

After 9/11 you dont bring guns to a nuclear power plant period.

So it was ok before 9/11?

Seriously, if a single person with a .32 could actually damage a nuke plant we have some serious issues to worry about.

Probably just as easy to leave them home when going to a nuclear power plant.

Honest mistake. Should he be locked up as a felon for 7 years??

Dumb mistake....and no he shouldnt be locked up for 7 years. Twist it however you want. I dont want people bringing firearms to a nuclear facility where my family works....sorry. Im not gonna argue about this. Its jmo. Carry on.

 

[Whiskers]

There is a big sign in front of the plant telling you what is NOT PERMITTED inside the facility. Firearms is on the list. The guys is a dope for doing it. Should he go to prison for it, NO, like someone else said, they should have taken his weapon, and released it to him on the way out of the gate.

 

[Two Bears]

The guys permit was expired, so what does that mean, that it's an unlawful weapon? You guys are saying simple mistake that he forgot it was there, x2 for not staying current on the permit, how many more excuses can you say he forgot about?

 

[AZSwampstomper]

Funny, someone had just posted a question about how to transport a handgun from Jersey into Pennsy for target shooting purposes. I was going reply and say, "no problem bringing it into Pennsy, however just don't try to bring it back home to Jersey"!
Anyway, this particular guy should just have known better, to many errors on his behalf.

 

[wingshooterbanhim]

Ok so the guy screwed up and should have known better. So what does that mean he should be held accountable I don't totally disagree even though we all have a constitutional right to bear arms which has been wrongfully taken away by the state of NJ. Give the guy a $1,000.00 fine and let him get on with his life not 5-7 years in state prison so he comes out a lunatic.

 

[DropTine249]

A security officer took possession of the gun and contacted township police.
this dope should lose his job!!!

Why ? Because only "cops" can attempt to disarm someone ? [eyeroll][eyeroll]

 

[bloodtrails]

The guys permit was expired, so what does that mean,

Take into consideration the media who is reporting this. They have no idea what a "permit" is. Any type of permit would not have helped him in this situation anyway.

 

[wingshooterbanhim]

I just hope he gets a judge thats pro gun or else he's screwed.

 

[Bigtime533]

I work there from time to time. Had my bow in the back and it was cased at it was a big problem. My entire truck got ripped apart after that one. After they finally found nothing I was allowed in but had to park my truck on the other side of rt.9 for the day..

 

[madeinuk]

Did he have an NJ permit that had expired?

If not, then the whole permit thing is just a red herring thrown in to prejudice the entire situation.

 

[squidly]

if guns alone kill people, does that mean pencils misspell words ? just wondering. [confused]

 

[ICMdie]

let me start by saying I agree that NJ gun laws suck. but lets change the story with A guy walking through the woods hunting with a shotgun and last years hunting license during bow season. same thing right? forgot to get a current hunting licence and didn't know he couldn't walk around with a gun during bow only. The same guys that are defending this guy would be crushing him for being a asshole that can't follow the rules of hunting. why would you stick up for him now? NJ gun laws suck and the rest of the country knows that so he should be punished for not following the law. cut and dry don't break the law don't have problems.
