NJ Arrest for dropping friend off on way home from Range!!!

[Howard 538]

This was just posted on Facebook by Alexander Roubian who is the President of NJ2AS:

 

I just got a call from a person who went to the range with his uncle, dropped him off at home, got pulled over while going home, cop asked where he was coming from, he was honest and told the police officer that he went to the range with his uncle and just dropped him off. He was immediately arrested and now facing 7-10 years in prison for dropping his uncle off instead of going directly to and from the range. This is NJ gun laws at work!

This makes me think of how many times I was picked up/dropped off and how many times I did it for other people.

 

Crazy stuff if true.

That is absolutely terrifying. 

[RootSki 5]

Crazy.  I'm ultra paranoid when driving to/from range or ffl.  I even set the cruise control on city roads right at the speed limit.

[DeletePLS 178]

Link please? i don't see this on his or NJSAS facebook page.

[Howard 538]

It is in NJ2A Group which is marked as a secret group so it is not possible to share a link.  But it is also on his page now at:  https://www.facebook.com/Roubian

If this is true, it's a great example of why you don't volunteer information to the police not relevant to the issue at hand; namely, why he was stopped. In my case it would have been: 

 

Q1: Where are you coming from?

A: Pennsylvania.

 

Q2: Where are you going?

A: Home.

 

Q3: What have you been doing? (Or insert any question #3 you care to dream up; at this point we know we're fishing.)

A: Officer, are you detaining me or am I free to go?

Good advice about not volunteering info.  But I really want to see further documentation before I believe this.

[n4p226r 105]

Can't be true. Anjrpc said Christie fixed this

[67gtonut 847]

Until I see a real article... not really believing it....

You stopped me to find out where I was coming from?

officer"where are you coming from?"

Am I free to go?

officer"where are you coming from"

I plead the 5th, am I free to go?

Never volunteer anything other than your license, registration or insurance.

[xXxplosive 823]

Why would this surprise anyone here............true or not.....minus another vote for Lawyer Christie.

[NJGF 375]

Very simple answer (to questions like do you have guns in your car, etc.): Officer I respectfully do not wish to answer that question.

[fatty 241]

why would he give himself up like that?  

[louu 399]

Is this as true as the guy arrested for the 16th round? 

[Howard 538]

Good question. The 16th was a third hand report, you know how that goes. This was from the president of NJ2AS who said the victim called him. I guess we shall see.

[Newtonian 453]

He answered because he was scared like 99% of us would be under those circumstances. When was the last time our eminent legal eagles provided a seminar or workshop on what to do when stopped? In my experience never because they don't make money if you're not trapped. 

 

Still I'd like to see a link to or verification of this event. 

 

Regardless, the fact that this law even exists is enough to worry about. 

[Newtonian 453]

You also have to consider the source and the venue where this information was provided. 

 

I have a plan to increase adult diaper consumption in New Jersey, and I'll be posting it on FaceBook. As soon as I join fucking FaceBook. 

[Old School 611]

I call BS

Evan Nappen's classes explicitly cover this.

[1LtCAP 4,262]

I call BS

till i see/hear more, i agree with this...

[GRIZ 3,369]

Waiting to hear the rest of the story.

[JohnnyB 4,322]

Waiting to hear the rest of the story.

Agreed. Although I would not call BS yet, there probably is more to the story.

[weekend_junkie 129]

If this is true, Rubio should be memorizing this instead. Maybe Christie would be rambling instead.

 

adult diaper consumption

Pulitzer material right here!

[silverado427 10,679]

So now you have the answer to what if I get pulled over on the way to or from the range.

[chris327 30]

Is this as true as the guy arrested for the 16th round?

First thing I thought of. Until a real article is out I would guess there is a ton more to this story we don't know.

[AverageJoe 95]

Stuff like this shouldn't be posted w/o some sort of facts...just creates unnecessary "hysteria"...leave it there till something more concrete comes out...till then I'm callin Bravo Sierra...sounds like there is a whole lot more to this story, if there is one.  

 

 

[ChrisJM981 924]

Joe is Lumbergh.

[Kingsoverqueens 10]

This sounds (reads) almost verbatim to another "story" posted here just a few months ago, it seems.

 

That one turned out to be BS and I suspect this one will as well.

[The brew guy 22]

Doesn't seem likely, unless there's a lot more to the story. OTOH, as much as non of us wants to be the test case, our best chance is for arrests like this to happen and there being enough "public outrage" that maybe a few of NJ's screwed up laws can be unscrewed.
