Charges Dropped, Finally

Roosevelt Twyne was arrested by an overzealous cop in New Jersey, the capital of the anti-gun states, for possession of an illegally-carried gun, and possession of illegal “hollow point” ammunition, costing him his job, and forcing him to hire a lawyer at a time when he had no income and was running out of groceries. Only one little problem. The gun was legally purchased, he had a permit to carry it, and those bullets were NOT hollow points, a fact supported by the state’s own web site. He even went so far as to go on national TV with his story, and the NRA announced they were with him. I don’t know what that entailed—maybe they helped pay his lawyer and bought groceries, and helped pay his bills while he was unemployed, due to that arrest. Fortunately, “wiser heads” prevailed, and those specious charges have been dropped, making it unnecessary to fight them in court. The prosecutor’s office said they had “exercised prosecutorial discretion” and dropped the charges. This sounds really magnanimous on their part, but I suspect they didn’t want to be made to look stupid in pursuing charges that are illegal. Clue, guys. You already look stupid for FILING such charges against a LEGAL carrier who uses that gun in his work. (Truth About Guns)
