J.S.
Mercer County Superior Court
In this case, our Mercer County Gun Lawyers were faced with a client that was accused of Unlawful Possession of Weapon for not having a carry permit in the state of New Jersey. He was a truck driver that was passing through New Jersey. His employer met him at a rest stop and took the truck back from him. Apparently, there had been some business dispute between the two men. The employer had called the police in the event that there was any trouble. When our client took his gun from the truck, the police seized it and arrested him. There was never any indication that he did anything wrong with the gun or that he even made any type of reference to it. He just didn’t have a carry permit.
Despite the fact that the client was a first offender, the was still facing mandatory prison time due to New Jersey’s strict firearms laws. Our Mercer County gun lawyers fought the case hard for months. As a result, we kept on chipping away at the plea offer. Our lawyers eventually got the plea down to no prison time but we didn’t stop there. Our lawyers continued to fight the case and in the end, we were able to get the entire indictment dismissed. The client did not have to pay one cent, be on probation for one day or spend one day in jail. Its just as if he would have one his trial but without the cost.

Your security clearance means nothing
November 27, 2012 by jefhenninger
At least once a week I get a client that says that they should easily get a permit because they have this or that security clearance. Today, a client called me up who got denied for a permit even though he has a security clearance. This proves what I have said for many years: your security clearance (in and of itself) means nothing. There is nowhere to disclose that on the application. If you have a security clearance and your next door neighbor doesn’t, but you both have clean backgrounds, then you each stand in the same shoes as far as the police go. Clearly, in the client that called me today, they missed whatever was in his background when they did his security check and his local police found it and he was denied. Sounds odd but that’s the way it is. Thus, the only analysis is whether you have something in your background (see “Will you get denied”) regardless of where you work and what type of clearance or whatever you had to get for that job.
