Christie pardons Shaneen Allen on all charges

Gov. Chris Christie (R) has granted a pardon to Shaneen Allen, the Philadelphia mother who was arrested for carrying a gun in New Jersey even though she was licensed in Pennsylvania.


Gov. Chris Christie signs an order giving Shaneen Allen a full pardon.

Allen, 27, has been “cleared of all criminal charges and indictments arising from the arrest” in Hamilton Township in Atlantic County on Oct. 1, 2013. Allen was arrested in Hamilton Township after telling a state trooper she had a gun and a concealed carry permit issued in Pennsylvania. New Jersey does not recognize other states’ gun licenses and faced a mandatory three-year jail sentence.

“We’re very happy about that, obviously,” her attorney, Evan Nappen told the Press of Atlantic City upon hearing of the pardon.

“This ends a vulgar chapter in an endless series of shameful episodes where political opportunists seek nothing but their own advantage. I compliment Gov. Christie for doing the right thing,” Executive vice president of the National Rifle Association Wayne LaPierre said in an email to Breibart News

Well, Kudos for Christie for doing one of the very few right things he's done so far.

I just wish he acted sooner so that her children weren't so scared about losing their mommy.

How about Bloomberg's Republican leanings? You do realize that the leadership of the gun control movement tend to be very rich, and Repuke??

I think not.
But he did do something good by pardoning the AA woman, wouldn't you agree?
