BRIDGEWATER -- Authorities in Somerset County are investigating an incident in which a loaded gun was found in a car that was used on the campaign trail by independent gubernatorial candidate Chris Daggett.

 

Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest said the circumstances, first reported Tuesday in The Star-Ledger, are being examined to determine whether any crimes were committed.

 

"Normally, we don't confirm or deny investigations," Forrest said in an interview. "But this has been in the paper. We are looking into the situation. This is law enforcement doing our job. We have a loaded gun that was found in a vehicle by Bridgewater Acura. We're just trying to determine what happened."

 

Daggett has said it was just an honest error made when switching cars. He explained his own Acura had been brought to the dealership for servicing on Saturday and was given a loaner. The gun, he said, belongs to his driver, retired state trooper Ken Argiro, and was accidentally left in the loaner when it was returned to the dealer on Monday.

 

"They called and immediately we took care of it," Daggett said.

 

Daggett spokesman Tom Johnson said "I don't know if Chris even knows this." He added that Daggett and his staff would cooperate with the investigation.

Johnson previously said the candidate was not even aware of the gun having been in the car. "Ken left the gun in the car; It was under the seat and Chris didn't even know the gun was in the car until the dealership called," Johnson said Tuesday.

 

Forrest declined to specify what his investigators were focusing on.

 

Michael Galietta, general manager of the dealership, said only: "At this particular point, we would just like this to go away. We have no comment."

Sure sounds fishy. Assuming the gun is the trooper's and he has a license to carry it, why is he putting it under the seat instead of holstering it?

another case of do what we say and not what we do.

 

-1 for Daggett

It was planted by the Christie campaign. :pray:

Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest said "the circumstances are being examined to determine whether any crimes were committed".

 

If one of us where to return a rental car and leave a loaded or even an empty handgun for this matter in the rental car, do you think that the Somerset prosecutor would look into "whether any crimes were committed" or would he just throw away the key?

I spoke to this guy in July and asked him what his stand was on the 2nd Amendment he had to think which one it was. Trust me it isn't his.

unless he didnt know if common folks should have them....

 

or you inspired him to come here, and fall in love with shooting.

The stache inspired him. Its powers are supreme even tiny shoots better in its presence.

I need to post up a flyer I got in the local rag the other day comparing all 3 candidates using their websites as answers to the questions posed. Very interesting when you look at 'typical' right wing issues as to where Daggett falls in comparison to Corzine and Christie - Daggett is almost Corzine's twin in nearly every regard.

To him, the 2A is fine and dandy with regards to hunting, but other than that, fuuggeett 'bout it.

 

:snooty:

Of course Daggett will walk. This is New Jersey where, while all animals are equal, some are more equal than others.

if he did not have his seat belt hooked he would have stood a better chance..
