Last week I broke the story of well known and outspoken NJ Gun Law Critic, James Kaleda, being targeted by the New Jersey State Police over claims that he provided false information on a NJ Non Resident Firearms I.D. Card Application.
At that time I promised that I would be following the story closely and update readers as things developed.
Well, they have. Early last week James advised, via Social Media, that Police Officers from Pennsylvania were at his home and he was being taken into custody on an arrest warrant issued by the NJ State Police for the charge of providing false information on a NJ Non Resident Firearms I.D. Card Application.
An offense that is treated as a third degree felony in New Jersey, punishable by up to five years in State Prison if convicted.Mr Kaleda was detained and is currently being held in the Northampton County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania. An extradition hearing was held on Friday March 7th 2014, when extradition was waived. Mr Kaleda now awaits NJ State Police Authorities to have him transferred to NJ before he can go before a NJ Judge to post bail. A process which the State apparently has up to ninety days to complete.
Mr Kaleda has retained noted NJ Firearms Law Expert and Attorney, Evan Nappen, for his defense. Mr Nappen has stated he plans to mount a vigorous defense of his client on the charges.
Obviously this situation has raised significant concerns and alarms for the over 1 million Citizens of NJ who own firearms and could easily find themselves in a similar situation.

Evidently PA has a shortage of crimes in their own state so they can afford to assist NJ in finding more criminals. Though I can't imagine what interest the taxpayers of PA have in ensuring the Administrative forms in NJ are filled out correctly.
ReplyDeleteCommies are never satisfied until they completely subjugate us worthless people and they are bound to go one bridge too far considering the course they are taking.
DeleteWhen I begin to hear that NJ judges and police officials are being targeted, I will know that that bridge has been crossed. I might send some dead roses to their survivors. Keep us posted please.
