misleading headlines?

the entire story needs to be known:

#1    was this guy a prohibited person

#2    did he consent to a search

# 3   was he engaged in criminal activity or a suspect in a crime

The fact that a person is carrying a gun doesn't make them criminals,   

It is difficult to get that specific information from the media in free states, let alone New Jersey.

Sadly, one does not need options 1, 2, or 3 to become a felon in the garden state.

 

 

Quinterious Jone, 23, was was arrested after a search of his vehicle uncovered a loaded Glock 27 .40 caliber handgun. The handgun was loaded with a 16-round magazine and also had a round in the chamber, according to police. Additionally, some hollow point ammunition was also seized, police said.

A few things stand out to me!!

I'll guess he did not have a NJ CCW permit.

The gun was loaded in his car....I'm guessing in the passenger compartment.

It had a 16 round magazine.

The man broke a few PRNJ laws for sure!

and we the law abiding(even though these laws here are themselves illegal, but that's a different topic) will suffer somehow for it

Reminder: No firearms topics in General Discussion forum... moving this over to the NJ laws area... since they'll, no doubt, be at the core of this particular case.
