This morning on air we discussed the tragic story of Carol Browne, the New Jersey woman who was murdered in her driveway by her ex-boyfriend. Browne had a restraining order against the man and planned on keeping a firearm for self-defense, but obviously did not receive the legal go-ahead to do so in time.
Many callers expressed their disgust with Garden State gun laws, saying that they criminalize law-abiding citizens. We also discussed the irony that had Browne obtained a firearm legally and then used it to protect herself in this situation, by virtue of state law, she still could’ve been tried for shooting her attacker outside her home.

| I'd say it all depends upon how one defines "the public". If, by it, you mean the thousands of violent felons, gang bangers, drug dealers and organized criminal elements infesting NJ then I'd have to opine they 'protect the public' very well indeed. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
