Are off duty police in NJ allowed to carry?

Or is the weapons charge because this off duty officer had a gun in the car along with the marijuana?

Cop had more than ounce of weed, gun in car with 3 kids, police say

Updated 10:55 AM; Posted 9:59 AM

An off-duty cop in Camden County was arrested Friday night after police in a nearby town say they found more than an ounce of weed and a gun in his car, authorities said.

Robert Williams, 33, of Maple Shade, was stopped by police in Lindenwold while driving with his three young children, Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo said in a release.

Williams faces charges of drug possession and distribution, a weapons charge, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child and official misconduct, according to the release.

State pension records show Williams was hired by Chesilhurst Police Department in January 2017 and was paid $33,246 per year.

He is currently being held in Camden County Correctional Facility and scheduled to appear before a judge on Sunday, the release said.

Weapons charge would be related to other criminal activity. He'd be fine if all he had was a gun.

Good. He would have gleefully busted some high school kids for having a joint or a nurse from Philadelphia who had accidentally driven int Jersey with her gun.

But not totally as he wasnt a civilian.

How did he endanger the kids?

Always gotta bring the "children" into the mix. Was he playing with the guns,
was he rolling joints while steering with his knee while texting, were the kids
shooting stop signs.

Serves him right for having such little respect for his children to have them near any drugs.....boo fuckin hoo.

Is that even possible?
I could see rolling the doobage while knee steering, but I can't see how to text while rolling the hippie lettuce?
