Both are under 2C:39-5 Either way he didn't lawfully own the rifle (either the rifle was illegal or he didn't have an ID). https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2018/Bills/AL18/39_.PDF Additional note, "Assault Rifle" is not a defined legal term in the law. So the charge isn't technically correct which makes the story even worse. It's just making phrases to sound nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or could it be possible they are calling running outside sending rounds errantly at a car driving down the road “unlawful possession”?.......much like possession of a legally purchased/owned handgun outside exempted locations would result in the same charge?

nondisclosure 55 Posted January 11, 2019 I'm a little astonished at the opinions surmised here, purely based on tattoo's, and beards. There are many police officers in the state of in NJ that have full sleeves. Our Presidents have had beards in the not so distant past. Would you have a different opinion of Law enforcement because of their tattoos and beards? There are quite a few cops in my gym with full sleeves, And beards... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you read the original post? Among other things he was charged with "Possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose", "Unlawful Possession of an Assault Rifle", "Pointing a firearm in the direction of a person or property". This wasn't a happy suburban chap who followed the letter of the law his whole life with the exception of this one slip up. It's a thug who didn't legally possess or handle the weapon.

I think the opinions are based on the totality of the scenario, so in this case the tattoos are just the icing on the cake. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm with you, BUT, remember, the laws(sucky as they are) of this stupid state are written so as to snag everyone they can possibly hook their teeth into. Ignorance being no excuse, everything being illegal unless it falls under exemption, and the piss poor distribution of the information regarding those laws to the general public. People are expected to know, yet it hardly gets the publicity that the weather report or lottery winners in the state get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read the article including the charges, I did not say/suggest he was a middle aged, milk toast, software engineer, minivan driving soccer dad. Just that simply, instantly condemning him based on appearance and “charges” listed by an anti gun rag in an anti gun state might be wrong. And that there may be other possibilities, and that he may have been mischarged/overcharged in regards to the possession, that town is small and not urban and stuff like that is not a normal event. They’re mainly domestic/dui/speed trap/heroin& related crimes town, so having had personal experience professionally with the chief and a few Sgts and Lts it’s not inconceivable to me that there may be some incorrect charges. I have no dog in the fight and could care less really, other than amazed at the automatic reaction by most on here. Original report listing count of spent casings and rounds left in mag made it seem like it was a 15/30 mag, which is what I originally commented about. But everyone kept talking about his looks and discharging at fleeing persons/vehicle. I was not, now the article no longer lists the counts so they must have edited it to match the “assault clipozine” charge.... or they tested and VERIFIED/confirmed it was a 30 with 15 rounds in it, not a 15/30 that he owned prior to the reduction that he may not have know about. I know even if that was the case it’s no excuse to break the law, or justifies leniency based on the additional bad decisions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
