Could you be a sweetheart and break it down to less than 3 lines for me.

i friggin bolded it for you in the damn quote.

on mandatory minimum sentencing for gun crimes, the U.S. Sentencing Commission found that blacks were far more likely to be charged and convicted of federal gun crimes that carry mandatory minimum sentences. They were also more likely to be hit with “enhancement” penalties that added to their sentences.

no, i don't think she's done anything worthy of jail time.

She should have not been arrested at all ....If you have a gun in one state the license should be good in all 50 states and Washington DC. The judge and DA wants to use this as an example of how tough they are on gun crime.

how are they using it as an example on how tough they are on gun crime, if it wasn't a crime to begin with? i don't get it.

what the law should be and what the law is - two different things. i don't know what the laws are concerning cc, because i do not cc.

cc permit is normally only good for the state you live in that you applied for it in.......

Lots of states have reciprocal rights. GA gun permits are honored in about half of the States.

what about nj?

It was an oversight on her part. What she did was a violation of current NJ law, but what they are doing to her is ridiculous.

agreed. if i had a cc permit, i'd be sure it was okay for me to travel with it wherever i was headed. but there is no reason to put her in jail. give her a fine. let her be.

A fine would drive the point home. Arrest and imprisonment is beyond moronic. She could shoot someone with an illegal gun and get less jail time.

Not one of them

I agree. Gun laws should be made at the federal level only. If you legally obtain a cc permit in one state, it makes no sense to me that you can't exercise that right in another state.

That whole little thing about any rights not expressly given to the Federal Govt etc etc or words to that effect
