Looking for info on good Gun rights Lawyers in upstate NY...
https://www.fundedjustice.com/en/projects/32147-Jim-Jones-Defense-Fund He was on his way to NH from Florida... |

There has to be more details than this. This is plainly covered by FOPA if he was traveling with everything in a locked up and inaccessible manner, which he no doubt would have known about, being in the firearms industry.
|
|
NYSP observes FOPA, more to the story. Hell, I just took a FOPA call an hour ago.

Or is that BS? I remember a thread a while back mentioning how NY law prohibits guns in thruway rest stops. Either way, his arrest sounds pretty stupid...Hope he gets off and sues the shit out of whoever arrested him wrongly. |

I would suggest Paloma Campana in Webster...
She was one of the lawyers involved with the FOIA lawsuit against Cumhole to get registration number released, and has been working against SAFE from the beginning. Have had several long conversations with her, she seems great. She was on my speed dial before I got out of there.... |

I instruct in PA and CT - Make the I-84 drive frequently from CT --> Milford PA. I've been told POINT BLANK by a NYSP that FOPA will not be observed if I bring my AR's through NY...On more than one occasion...Thus why I refuse to instruct in NY...Not worth it. --- Apparently James was taking a break at a rest stop which, abides by FOPA considering he is temporarily resting while passing through. I find this ironic considering what half the LEOs in America carry... |

I'd just get a good criminal lawyer in the Albany area and forget about looking for someone who is a "gun rights lawyer." I don't really know anyone in that area anymore unfortunately

There is much erroneous information in the thread which has lead many to a false conclusion. This is NOT the case to be used as an example of LE overreach. Cannot go into detail due to pending litigation but, again, this is NOT the case.

I tried searching for anything in the news related to this arrest but I haven't found anything. Have you seen anything? If so, do you consider listing a news article prejudicial too? Would you be able to answer a yes or no question to whether there is something more than just possession of firearms related charges? Non firearms related charges? I appreciate your sensitivity to prejudice towards the defendant. |

This is New York people.
We don't need any top secret material to know what that means. |

Wait for the facts to come out before jumping to conclusions and grabbing your pitchforks. We loudly complain about the media and BLM jumping to conclusions, we are better than that.

Unless this guy was waving his rifles or pistols around in the air popping off rounds, NFA items of not, stored improperly, I dont care. He should not still be in jail for any firearms charges. Are you sure he didnt have any drugs on him? I mean he is still in the lock up since the 4th of july. Something is crazy here.

I have not heard the charges against him - I cannot even find his arrest report in a police log... All I know is what was listed on the fundraising page.

LMAO, the police are not going to help and give you ALL the info here. Yes they will find out for themselves, but not tell anyone else. The only way to find out would be to visit him in the lockup. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

A state trooper pulled up and noticed his firearm company stickers on his vehicle. |

This is the problem, we are not seeing straight unsafe violation arrests. I dont believe (FOPA) covers you if you commit a felony. And I found this today after telling my mother about the story, she used to be a deputy NYSAG and didnt believe the story. So we started to google search. Now not to get into this guys life too much but she said anyone can also get the arrest report that would spell out exactly what the trooper observed and arrested him for. I just dont like being asked for money under false pretenses. Its not as it was explained.

If Jim had 1 drink, the same exact charges would've been thrown on. Think about it - Long drive...Have a single beer...Same situation... I personally, would like to see the arrest report myself but, it doesn't change the reality of the situation. |

Let's just say he did some bonehead things to get in the position he is in now. The defense page is far from accurate. But rationalization is what we do here apparently.

It was on his go fun me page about stickers etc... After being on grand jury for 5 months before i left NYS..I will say this about troopers in Dutchess county they are very professional and saw that again and again when they presented the cases at the grand jury phase.. Even the DA and ADA's side on caution prior to really charging anyone with a felony crime in the county.. |

I'm still curious. No matter what he was originally arrested for, DWI or anything else, those gun charges are offensive to natural liberty. If he wasn't using the guns unlawfully, shouldn't the defense supported by FOPA still be relevant?
