Judge: Quadriplegic Has Right To Bear Arms

A New Jersey judge says a quadriplegic blocked from buying a gun to go hunting has the right to bear arms even though he will have to use a wheelchair mount to use the firearm.

Manville's police chief had rejected James Cap's application last year, citing safety concerns. The borough attorney says the safety issues could only be resolved by a judge.

A judge ruled Tuesday that the 46-year-old is eligible for a firearms ID, which is required to buy a gun. The judge addressed the safety issues by requiring Cap to have qualified people assist him with weapons.

Cap was an avid hunter as a teenager. He was paralyzed 30 years ago after breaking his neck in a high school football game. He plans to mount the gun on his wheelchair and operate it with a breathing tube.

This has been posted here before and there is no hope for NJ.

It's not even a nice story. It's a story about a slave that was given a variance for a photo op. He's still certainly not allowed to carry or defend himself.

Well this is an update to the old story. It's nice to see that the good guys do win some times, but as Ungawa said this is nothing more than a photo op.

I've been there, I've seen things from the inside. There is no hope for NJ.

He's still certainly not allowed to carry or defend himself.

To put it in perspective, neither is 99.9% of the rest of the state's population. He's not unique on the carry issue.

The only hope I see for NJ is that it will some how cease to be a state and finally gives it's neighbors a sigh of relief.

Hope? In Jersey?!? Meh, let's see the quadriplegic get a NJ CCW...

NJ: hunting=OK, self defense=NOT OK
