Just another day in Trenton. However, if New Jersey adopts Pennsylvania's proposed law, every perpetrator would at least face a $25 fine. (Which is more than they're going to get, even if they're caught.)
Yeah, I remember those days. That would have been nothing special, 20 yrs ago when we moved up here from Philly. Even today, probably 25+% of the folks do not lock their house at night - let alone their cars. 'Course, we are in the middle of an area where just about everybody hunts - that means just about everyone has guns.

Hmmmmm, was it some town in Texas that handgun ownership became mandatory a few years ago and they saw the crime rate go down?

I know this is not softball related, but since some posters were claiming that the idiots in their states were dumber than the idiots in New Jersey, I feel compelled to offer this story as proof that the Garden State still rules the roost. Maybe this guy now qualifies to run for office.
