Pappy there isn't any politics involved in my statement. Why didn't he have a conceal carry permit if he was a security guard. It was my understanding that most had to have a permit as part of their job if carrying a gun was part of it!!! EB
There is politics involved when you reference pro-gun & anti-gun ideologies ... albeit faint, but it is there.
Security Guards don't necessarily "carry concealed" ... they usually open carry. I don't know NJ gun laws enough to say that even if he had a CC permit, having the gun in the glove box of his vehicle would not still have been breaking the law. And he wasn't exactly your run of the mill "security guard" ... he was an "armored car guard" and was charged with "weapons possession". WELL DUH, of course he "possessed" a "weapon" ... but he wasn't trying to hide the fact, he possessed the weapon legally, and had every right to have the weapon.

Doesn't really matter ... he got an attorney & is seeking an appeal to overturn the felony conviction.
