After Antrum told the officer he wasn't aware that New Jersey didn't have self-service gasoline stations (WTF @ this yet once more), the officer asked him if he had any weapons (WTF AGAIN? that's the first question he asked?) and Antrum admitted he had a handgun. The officer then took a loaded .40 caliber handgun from a holster Antrum was wearing, court papers said.
Sounds like its his own fault. He should have known where his valid licenses were accepted or just locked his gun up properly while traveling through states where he did not posses a license.
It did not say he had it locked up and his ammo stored separately. It said the officer took teh gun out of his holster on his side. Big no-no we all know that.
On a side not not being able to pump your own gas in NJ is BS. I have only been there twice and I feel dumb having someone pump my gas.
First, it shouldn't be .gov's business to tell a gas station whether they can with or without attendants. People in 48 other states manage to pump their own gas.Why is not being able to pump your own gas BS?
Why is not being able to pump your own gas BS? I don't have to get out of my car to pump it and I pay less for it on top of that. I wish they did allow us to pump our own. Then we would probably save another 10 cents per gallon. Still only $2.83 here!

The court also ruled that Antrum had made "no effort" to learn about New Jersey gun laws.
when its 2 am, and you need gas to get home and there is no one to pump it, and all the gas stations are closed, then you will care.
i have to agree.
nothing good happens in jersey. ever.
Pumping your own gas is a great responsibility. Come on guys
I passed through a town on the 495 belt, (I want to say Milford possibly?) And the gas station attendant said there was a town rule that people could not pump their own gas.....
and to stay on topic, this guy screwed up, and now he will pay for it.

I did not even know New Jersey was still around...thought it went out of business..or got shut down due to the horrid smell it puts off..
Worse still, try getting stuck behind a NJ driver at a self serve pump. They have no idea how to use them. It's happened to me twice. Both times I got out and showed them where to put the credit card and etc so I could get the hell out of there.
better than taking the wrong exit and getting lost in Newark.
He got probation:Hope his relatives come to visit him in the Gulag.
Michael Antrum, 57, of New Haven, Conn., was placed on two years probation and ordered to forfeit the handgun and ammunition after he pleaded guilty to a third-degree charge of unlawful possession of a handgun without a valid permit.
This is 100% grade A B.S! How can anyone say that I am not respolsible enough to carry a gun just because I crossed a "imaginary" boarder. Will the criminals care that I am from another state? (probably would because they would know I shouldn't be armend). I would rather explain myself to a LEO than have hime trace my outline on the ground.
the officer is a douche bag for arresting him... period.
whether he outed himself or not, made a stupid mistake... even though the guy probably isn't that bright to being with, it appears he acted in good faith by producing two permits for the occifer who proceeded to treat him like a criminal.
lots of fail in this one.
"Antrum testified that he obtained a Florida permit because he thought it was valid in 29 other states, but he admitted he had not looked at the list of states since he had obtained the permit."
How is the cop a douche bag?
