A tower climber from NC organized his crew in under an hour for storm caused disaster relief in NJ. While waiting between tower jobs a NJ police officer asked what they were doing and he explained, and informed the officer that he had a legal firearm in his vehicle.

Facts

After a storm took out cell service, a tower climber from North Carolina organized his crew in under an hour, to drive up to New Jersey and do some disaster relief for Trenton, New Jersey.

While waiting between tower jobs a NJ police officer asked what they were doing and he explained, and informed the officer that he had a legal firearm in his vehicle.

Since New Jersey doesn't recognize the 2A and other states rights to grant gun permits, they arrested him, and only released him on $25K bail, and considered granting a plea deal to 36 months probation.

Republican Governor Chris Christie recieved a large petition with many signatures, so pardoned him.

Was that a reasonable law? That's what gun controllers look like. Do a good deed, and we'll fuck you over. Moral to the story, let NJ stay in darkness.
