Potential client called me today to inquire about my services for a denial of a purchase permit. He had a drug paraphernalia charge from a few years ago.

New Jersey after McDonald v Chicago
Posted in My Practice on July 1, 2010 | 10 Comments »
In my opinion, I don’t see much if anything changing in New Jersey after the McDonald case. Remember Heller? Everyone thought that was going to be a huge win for gun rights advocates in New Jersey.
