This Picture of My Son Holding a Gun Triggered a Visit from NJ Police, Family Service

Can this be really happening in the United States?



Dad: This Picture of My Son Holding a Gun Triggered a Visit from NJ Police, Family Services?

Did this photograph spark a police action that tried to enter a New Jersey home without a warrant? That’s the story being told on a website dedicated to “Open Carry” in the state of Delaware. The title of the story, “The fight has officially been brought to my front door.”

The young man in the photo is the 11-yr-old son of Shawn Moore. The gun is a .22 rifle, a copy of the AR-15, but a 22 caliber. The photo was posted on Facebook by a proud father. That Facebook posting apparently triggered an anonymous call to New Jersey’s Department of Youth and Family Services (DYFS). On Friday night, March 15th, two representatives from the state’s social services office (along with four local police officers) came to the Moore home and demanded to see the family’s firearms.

According to Moore’s lawyer, Evan Nappen (an attorney with considerable expertise in NJ’s very strict gun laws), the situation was “outrageous.”

Completely rediculous! Especially how the DYFS representative behaved.

Disgusting!!! I would file a formal complaint with DYFS. For her to not give her credentials was not only unprofessional, but I would suspect against their own rules.

I do not recognize my country any more.

Unbelievable!! I guess I should expect a few visits because I also have pics of my kids holding that exact brand/model rifle.

What also pisses me off is they refuse to identify themselves! What cowards!!

This is only the beginning I hope all of you realize that!

Unbelievable! Good for him being an informed person and not allowing any search or seizure!

So would something like this have happened if the kid had been holding a dead marmot he had shot along with the rifle.

What do you expect from New Jersey?
