In the summer of 2003, I was stopped by a group of 6 teenagers (average age looked to be 16!) on a side street in Jersey City, NJ. Just as I was about to tell them to frick-off, the lead thug put (what looked like) a 9mm to my head and demanded my money. Between his fumbling with his bike, his fumbling through my suit pockets and his non-attention towards the gun that he was waving around, I could have grabbed it out of his hand numerous times. However, the fear of any others behind me having a gun, the fear of missing his gun, and most importantly, the fear of how NJ would treat ME if I put the kid down all prevented me from action.
I mention this because, shortly after, I found an internet site which specializes in self-defense products ranging from a whistle/keychain to pepper spray/taser weapons which can fit in your pocket. Having an interest in the latter products, I clicked on to make a purchase, only to find out that every product (except the whistle) is illegal in the State of NJ.
Whether it is based upon institutional stupidity or calculating liberalism, the State of NJ WILL NOT allow its citizens to adequately protect themselves from existing criminal elements. I had every human right to drop that kid for what he did to me, just not in the State of NJ.
I have said and written many times that when it (Leviathan) gets serious about disarming us, it will go after the ammunition. Cali tried to get micro-imprinting on the casings.
