Ryan Narcisco, a 20-year old mall clerk, might go to jail for keeping a BB gun in his car.
Mandatory 3-year sentence, no parole, for unlawful possession of a firearm.
According to a commenter, the NJ definition of a firearm
shall also include, without limitation, any firearm which is in the nature of an air gun, spring gun or pistol or other weapon of a similar nature in which the propelling force is a spring, elastic band, carbon dioxide, compressed or other gas, or vapor, air or compressed air, or is ignited by compressed air, and ejecting a bullet or missile smaller than three-eighths of an inch in diameter, with sufficient force to injure a person.

Yup, I lived there for many years and can testify the State is really screwed up regarding weapon ownership and carrying. BB guns are considered firearms and come under the firearm laws.
Of course, NJ is as Liberal as New York State so it's no surprise they rule.
Here's some of the "intellectuals" lecturing on how bad guns are:

They say guns are dangerous and the recent Supreme court ruling will cause a rise in accidental shootings.
Typical Liberal chatter!

Something powered by an elastic band constitutes a firearm?
