Yes you did miss it. The NRA publicized this case from a pretty early stage. Otherwise the prosecutor would have doubtless proceeded with his plan to stick her with a long prison sentence. According to her attorney, who is a noted gun rights/self defense rights lawyer:
NRA-ILA | Shaneen Allen to Avoid Prison as New Jersey AG Revises Sentencing Guidance for Gun Law Violations
Quote:
As Ms. Allen’s attorney Evan Nappen noted, these victories were not achieved in isolation but with the aid of untold numbers of Second Amendment supporters who ensured that these struggles did not go unnoticed. “Every NRA member should be proud,” Nappen said
Or you can take it from Shaneen Allen. One of the first people she called after the prosecutor caved was a reporter for NRA publications named Ginny Simone, who had covered the story and brought it to public awareness.

Here's another quote from her attorney that can be heard @ 7:23 in the above link.

But what does he know he was only her primary attorney.

Not always possible, the law is a state cannot prevent you from traveling through it with a wepoan that is legal from your point of departure and destination. You will hav to abide by certain laws such storage of it and the ammunition.

There was a guy flying from Utah to PA with a layover in NJ. He checked his weapon in Utah and the plane was late getting to NJ and he missed his next flight. The PA destination was close so they offered a bus to the passengers. He got on the bus only to find that his bags never made it onto the bus. He got off the bus and collected his bags one of which had the gun. He checked into a nearby hotel, when he went to check his gun the next day they arrested him.

I think he spent two weeks in jail and they eventually dropped the charges, it took him something like 3 years to get his gun back. He sued but lost.

I do too. He did veto the recent misguided bill to even further limit magazine capacity.

That was a huge smack down to the antis who tried to call CC racists for this almost unprecedented move.

You think SA would have walked under Corzine or even Florio, whose 'florio free in 93' bumper stickers appeared in gun shops.

The NRA would help Al Quaeda if it meant more guns on the street.

Glad she got off, there needs to be some discretion in the application of any law but she should have known better, not the first person locked up for not knowing the gun laws.

I'd love to see proof of this BS.
