Armed Mom Learns Fate For 'Mistake' With Gun
Prosecutors nix jail for Shaneen Allen amid public backlash
WND
It took a “massive backlash” from the public and Second Amendment advocacy groups, but authorities in New Jersey have agreed to allow a Philadelphia mother who armed herself after being robbed repeatedly to take part in a pretrial intervention program rather than go to prison.
Shaneen Allen’s offense was to carry her firearm, which was legally permitted in Pennsylvania, into New Jersey.
According to the local Shore News Today, prosecutor Jim McClain on Wednesday released a statement confirming his recommendation that Allen be offered a standard pretrial intervention program.
Earlier, the Atlantic County official had been insisting on a minimum of several years in jail for the single mom.
The Shore News report said McClain’s decision came after the New Jersey attorney general’s office issued a new opinion on the state’s 2008 Grave’s Act directive addressing out-of-state residents who hold valid permits to carry a firearm and are charged in New Jersey with illegal possession.
McClain said, “In applying the factors set out in the clarification, I determined that the defendant in this case should be offered the opportunity to be admitted into the Atlantic County PTI Program, and I have communicated that determination to the court and to defense counsel.”
At Guns.com, Jennifer Cruz noted: “The prosecutor and judge handling the case received massive backlash after refusing to go easy on the single mother of two and forgo jail time by allowing her to enter the state’s pretrial intervention program. Assistant prosecutor Deborah Hay said they were going to use Allen, whose trial was set to begin next month, as a type of example to deter others from this sort of activity in the future.

Nothing says “tyranny” then to make an unconstitutional law and then setting up victims as examples of their lawlessness. WOW, N.J., you need to recall/fire these traitors who enacted these Un-Constitutional laws real quick-like. The public has spoken, you’ve got some mean spirited attorneys there and no one is liking it at all. Its a shame when an honest woman tries to keep her head above the law and then your boys do this to her.
