Covington VA –-(Ammoland.com)- A Virginia CHP holder, Guy Ackerman, inadvertently brought a handgun with him into NJ.
He discovered the gun in his car and rather than leave it in there with valet parking, he took the unloaded revolver to his room and locked it in the room safe. The valet had noticed the gun when it was in the car and told the police, who arrested Guy and charged him with unlawful weapon possession – a felony in NJ.
The prosecutor is refusing to allow Guy an option to avoid jail time, an option that is normally available in such cases.
Guy is really in a tough spot. If he takes the prosecutor’s current “deal,” Guy will spend one year in prison before being able to apply for parole. If denied, he will have to serve up to three years. If he rejects the idea of a “guilty” plea and is found guilty in a trial, he then faces a minimum jail sentence of between five and ten years.
Of course, if he wins the trial, he would be free. However, we are talking New Jersey.
This is why I avoid New Jersey, preferring not to leave America.
Here is a web site that provides details on Guy’s situation, as well as a petition to sign asking that Guy be given the non-felony option: www.wesupportourguy.com

This is tyranny personified; making criminals of and enforcing inane laws that miserate the citizenry.
How can an advanced society use the law against the majority at the behest of the minority. A human issue rather than a political issue.
Merely a human condition that could be wiped out starting with the next freshman class.
Stay the F*CK out of New Jersey, Taxachuessettes, New Yawk, Delaunderware, and every other communist stronghold in this nation. If you haven’t figured it out yet, in their eyes the Constitution = Charmin.
I always had a gun with me when i ran in the north east it’s been twenty years since i ran up there and i had a good hiding place in my 18 wheeler for it . As far as the snitch if it were me he ratted on , paybacks would be in order
Have no fear. Governor Chris Christie, the “Republican” governor and presidential hopeful will stand on the side of the Constitution. (Wink, wink.) No doubt a pardon is being or will be drawn up directly. (Wink, wink.)
Not only do I refuse to enter any of the hoplophobe states I don’t even buy from ebay sellers in those states. I will not support the erosion of our Constitution by giving them my business.
A shame. It seems like they are more willing to deal with people like this:
