New Jersey Justice
In July, Brian Fletcher was arrested for doing something he was taught to do back in his home state of North Carolina. “Brian and his cell tower crews were responding to an emergency call in New Jersey where half a million people were without power due to a storm. But in an instant, Brian went from helping to getting a crash course in Jersey law after he volunteered to a police officer that he had a handgun in his vehicle.
9/11 Felony
Elizabeth Elderli never leaves her Houston home unarmed. So, when the former U.S. Marine visited Manhattan's 9/11 Memorial, two guns were in her backpack when she saw a “no firearms” sign at the security checkpoint. Elderli told a police officer about the loaded 9-mm. and .380-caliber semi-automatic guns — both covered by her Texas concealed weapons permit, which she believed was valid in New York. But she quickly learned that the Empire State's gun control laws bear no resemblance to those back home. Elderli was arrested and charged with felony possession of a weapon and left facing 3 ½ to 15 years in prison.”
Attorney J. Scott Kappas uses case law and statutory authority to render plain English advice as to how a traveler should carry firearms while visiting the many states of our great nation.
