Mom arrested for bringing registered gun across NJ border may be spared prison sentence
A Philadelphia mom who faced hard time after bringing a registered gun across the New Jersey border will be allowed to enter a program that could spare her a prison sentence after a ruling late Wednesday.
Shaneen Allen, a 27-year-old mother of two who was arrested last year after being stopped on the Atlantic City Expressway and told police she had the gun and a Pennsylvania conceal-carry permit, faced up to three years in prison in New Jersey, where gun laws are among the strictest in the nation. But the state Attorney General’s office issued a clarification of the rules governing pre-trial intervention to ensure that Allen would be eligible.
“It’s a great day for my client and also for gun rights in New Jersey,” Allen’s attorney, Evan Nappen, of Eatontown, told FoxNews.com. “It’s a victory for all of those similarly situated, and that was very important to Shaneen.”
