While I really feel for this Marine, I think he should have known that his permit was not good in New Jersey. He was a Marine Police Officer; its hard to believe he didnt know the carry laws of different states. He received a three year sentence for a gun charge that was six years ago and was about to begin his term when Governor Christie commuted his sentence. I am all for our second amendment rights and I am happy his sentence was commuted but you shouldn't be carrying when you're out drinking. What does RP think about this?

"I am all for our second amendment rights... but you shouldn't be carrying when you're out drinking." This is EXACTLY the mentality that resulted in 50-some-odd people dead in a gay/tranny bar in Florida when some Islamic douche-nozzle brought a semi-auto rifle into the place and started shooting.

CW3 Harvey K. - I think that would be an excellent idea. But I am opposed to the automatic assumption that having a beer or two over the course of an evening automatically means people shouldn't be able to protect themselves. That's the unfortunate state we live in now, and people are dead as a result.

Typical liberal doesn't trust people to make their own decisions. I guess you're OK with the occasional mass shooting of defenseless people if it means you can enforce your nanny state on the rest of us.

Technically, a state not honoring a CCW from another state is a violation of article 4 section 1 of the constitution. Basically the article says that a document that is legal in one state is legal in all states. It requires reciprocity, and if someone were to challenge on the grounds of constitutionality I feel that they would win.

SFC William Farrell - This Congress is very likely to pass national concealed carry reciprocity, and if it gets reviewed by SCOTUS, it is certain to become the law of the land. Therefore any challenge of the law on constitutional grounds has a good chance of ultimately succeeding. SGT Tony Clifford is not in LaLa land.

SSgt Christopher Brose - He is right now Christopher. I'd love to see the law passed. I have Florida and New Hampshire permits and my LEOSA retired credential so I'm all for this however even if it does pass, it is not going to be retroactive to Sgt Pompey's case. SGT Tony Clifford has a nice argument but I'm sure if it was valid, it would have been tested in the courts before. So to both of you, Im hoping it passes but in the end Sgt Pompey was in violation of the law as it is currently interpreted.

SFC William Farrell - Under the prior administration, it would have been a fantasy. Now, and I mean right now this moment, it's not a fantasy. The climate is right for both reciprocity legislation and a constitutional challenge via the courts.
I'm sure you are correct that no legislation would be retroactive, so Sgt. Pompey's only shot at getting his name cleared would be a constitutional challenge via the courts. I'm not predicting success if he tries it, I'm only saying he'd have a real shot if he does.

SSgt Christopher Brose - Christopher, the guy was a stellar Marine from what I read but he still violated the law and for that he suffered the consequences and for that, he is now a convicted felon. I can't believe in my my mind he didnt know what he was doing. And believe me, Ive been on both sides of the fence. I do hope the national reciprocity gets passed.Thanks.

It says hes from Maryland and his firearm was registered in Virginia and wasn't allowed in N.J. so 3-6 years in jail so far it seems sort of like parole, not a good spot to be in...
