SPEAKERS


Speaker 3, Evan Nappen, President Trump


Evan Nappen 00:19

Hello, I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, let’s discuss Komeela. That’s what I like to call her, Komeela. And Komeela is the old bait and switch, folks. You know, all those millions of people that voted for the senile sock puppet suddenly had their vote erased, basically eliminated, in a bait and switch. Komeela got installed, and now the big con is on. Essentially her campaign could be summarized as a mystery grab bag. You don’t know what’s in it, and she’s not going to really tell you what’s in it. She wants you to vote for the mystery grab bag.


Evan Nappen 01:15

However, it’s actually not that much of a mystery when you know what she has done in the past. What she’s trying to put forward now is, I’m a gun owner. I’m a gun owner. Oh, well, if someone’s a gun owner, that just means they’re fine. They’re great. They have to be one of us, right? And nothing could be further from the truth, because, frankly, I don’t know any gun rights oppressor who isn’t a gun owner. Being a gun owner doesn’t make you someone who wants to defend gun rights. Not at all. As a matter of fact, I know people, who are not gun owners, but vigorously defend gun rights. So, being a gun owner doesn’t mean a damn thing.


Evan Nappen 02:14

What does matter is what you’ve advocated for in the past, what you have wanted to do, and the statements that you’ve said in the past. Not what you’re trying to persuade the public about now, within weeks of an election where you’ve been put there without a single vote to try to fool America. And you know, the Democrats have done this before. You may recall the Senate race in New Jersey, where the torch, you know, Robert Torricelli had to get out of the race, and they anointed the corpse there, Frank Lautenberg. He wasn’t elected by anybody, right? Doesn’t matter. And guess what? He won, folks. Remember that — he won. So, they’re up to their old tricks.


Evan Nappen 03:20

Now we have Komeela trying to persuade us with smoke and mirrors. She’s a gun owner, and she’d shoot somebody, too. How nice. Except what’s the real Komeela? Well, I’ll tell you. Recently, a clip of her speaking when she was the lead, top prosecutor there, the district attorney. She made her views pretty clear, and remember, this is her acting as the prosecutor, as a district attorney, where their goal



Page – 1 – of 9



is to protect the Constitution, to protect our rights as well, find and enforce in terms of justice. Remember this is their job and what they’re supposed to do. You need to hear what she said when she was in the position of power when it came to our guns and our gun rights. Mr. Producer, please play the clip of Komeela.


04:40


It’s people who own guns who are quietly sitting on those guns, and those guns might end up being the weapons of the destruction of a community, because they get in in the hands of some kids who decides that they like what they see on television and they want to act that way. So, this is about just basically saying that we’re going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affair.


Evan Nappen 05:15

So, did you hear that? It’s not going to stop them from going into your home and checking your guns. Imagine that! No probable cause, no warrant. I mean, screw the Fourth Amendment. I mean, you might have a gun, so we just have a right to go check and if we don’t like what we see or what we find as we invade your privacy as a gun owner. Focused on gun right suppression, which remember, encompasses all our rights here. You just heard the real Komeela. You just heard this person, who wants to be our President and leader of the free world, talking about a policy, an opinion, and a view of our Second Amendment rights that, my friends, is pure gun rights oppression. That is how a gun rights oppressor speaks, and you better realize it.


Evan Nappen 06:39

This election is unbelievably critical. I know you hear all the time how important elections are, but this one has to win the prize. We are literally talking about our country as we know it, our rights as we know them, being destroyed by Komeela and the Democrats. Okay? That’s who’s out there to completely change what we know and love for the worst. Versus their opponent, President Trump, who will do the opposite! Who will empower us, protect our rights, protect our gun rights, protect all our other rights, change us into the powerhouse that America can be and make us again the absolute greatest nation on Earth. It’s a choice of becoming a Third World authoritarian country like Venezuela or any of these other banana republics. And look, they’re already doing the Banana Republic thing by law fair and their political opposition. Looking to censor free speech, just void out our Fourth Amendment rights, as you heard her talking about right there.


Evan Nappen 08:38

You’ve got to make sure, absolutely make sure, that you are registered to vote, and that not just you vote, but you get your friends and family registered to vote. As I talk to my audience, who are people that treasure all our rights, and particularly our Second Amendment rights, President Trump had something to say about that. What he had to say is true, and it’s sobering. But you need to hear it. We all need to hear what he said, what he said while he was on the Greg Gutfeld show. Mr. Producer, could you please play President Trump.

President Trump 09:42

If the gun owners voted. I mean, the gun owners are just a massive proportion if they voted, but they vote, like at 16% or something. If the people, because they want to take your guns away. She wants to confiscate your guns. She wants to take them away. You know, she’s now trying to get out of it. So, she had policies that she’s now changed 14 policies about fracking. She was totally against, for 15 years, fracking. Now, all of a sudden, a short while ago, she came out in favor of fracking. Same thing with guns. She said, no, no, I don’t want to take your guns. I don’t want to. For 20 years, she’s wanted to take your guns. All of a sudden, a short while ago, she said, no, no, I don’t want to. One thing about a politician, they always revert back to where they were at the beginning.


Evan Nappen 10:23

So, there you have it. President Trump is telling the truth. She wants to take your guns. Komeela, good old Komeela, wants to take your guns. She’s lying about all her policies, or even simply not speaking about them. But did you hear what President Trump also said about gun owners? How only 16% or so actually vote, and if they did vote, it would make all the difference. He’s right. He’s absolutely right. So, do not be one of those folks that own guns, that cherish our rights, cherish our gun rights, who do not vote. Let’s turn that around. Make sure you’re registered to vote. The threat is real. Do not be turned into a non-entity by not voting. Get out the vote. Help others to get out the vote.


Evan Nappen 11:47

If we do that, we can win this, and it will be the shining times for America. We will have our gun rights so secured for generations because President Trump will appoint even more pro-gun Supreme Court justices. President Trump will do what’s right across the board for our country. For our energy, for immigration, for all those issues that are destroying us. We can make the difference. I don’t want to just be preachy here. But you heard what Komeela has to say from her own lips, and you heard what President Trump had to say. And guess what? Both are speaking the truth. Both are speaking the truth. Komeela is talking the truth about what she believes in that clip. President Trump just told you the truth, and that truth bothers me. It bothers me that we’re not out there in full force, exercising our power at the ballot box. Make sure you do that, folks.


Evan Nappen 13:11

One of the ways that you can stay informed is by belonging to the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. They are the gun rights premier organization in New Jersey. They are litigating on behalf of all of us in the federal courts as we speak, challenging the Carry Killer law, the modern sporting rifle ban and the standard capacity magazine ban. They are standing guard, watching over the legislature with a full time paid lobbyist. They’re making a difference. You need to be part of that organization. They will also help you to know the threats that these individuals that are gun rights oppressors are placing upon us. So, you want to join Association, and I strongly suggest you do. Go to anjrpc.org and become part of the solution when you join them.


Evan Nappen 14:24

If you want to stay on top of the gun laws that are changing, both for good and bad, as we continue our fight against the gun rights oppressors, make sure you get a copy of my book. It is, not surprisingly, called New Jersey Gun Law, and it is the Bible of New Jersey gun law. It’s over 500 pages with 120



Page – 3 – of 9



topics, all in a question and answer format, so that even you can understand New Jersey gun laws. To get your copy, go to EvanNappen.com. You’ll see the big orange book. Order it, and you’ll have it in a matter of days. You’ll be glad you did. When you get the book, scan the front cover, and subscribe for free to my updates and the archives. The book will stay current for you. It’s used by police, lawyers, judges, and most importantly, 1000s of law-abiding citizens throughout New Jersey. And you’ll use it as well. I guarantee it. It is indispensable if you’re a gun owner in New Jersey.


Evan Nappen 15:43

If you’re a gun owner in New Jersey, one of the things gun owners often do is look for a place to shoot. I have a great recommendation for you, and that is, WeShoot. WeShoot is an indoor range in Lakewood, New Jersey, right there in Central Jersey, conveniently located off the Parkway, the famous Garden State Parkway. You know, we drive on a parkway, and we park on a driveway, but we have the Garden State for that. Sometimes I’m parked on the Garden State Parkway. Yeah, you know what traffic can be. But anyway, that is the range where I got certified, my brother got certified, and where my family shoots. It’s a great range. You’ll love the indoor range where they have tremendous trainers. They can get you fully equipped with all the guns and gear. Get your CCARE certificate so you can get your carry in Jersey. It’s great place. I know you’ll love it. Check out weshootusa.com. Beautiful website, beautiful photography. WeShootUSA.com.


Evan Nappen 17:03

Here is something that I really, really love to see. It’s a new law being proposed that’s pro-gun rights. Imagine that. Now, obviously this law is not going to pass right now. But if gun owners get off their ass and vote en masse, we could actually make this happen. Okay? And what I like about this law, this bill that’s been proposed, is that it is a new dawn in just the issue itself. And what issue am I talking about? Well, you know, folks, we’ve struggled for years to finally get “shall issue” carry. We struggled for years to even be able to have a carry permit issued as “shall issue” in New Jersey. Now, of course, the gun rights oppressors’ response was a hissy fit with the Carry Killer law. Yeah, you’ll get a permit, but we’ll try to make it useless by limiting where you can actually use it. But that strategy is falling to pieces as the Association is winning in their litigation. Nonetheless, we fought hard to get our ability to get a carry permit in New Jersey. The whole fight of legal carry. The history of it. Remember, I’ve practiced law, been an advocate for our rights, battled these things in the courts, defended law-abiding citizens, and I’ve seen this history in the making firsthand. When I first started practicing law, well over 35 years ago, the idea that we’d have a “shall issue” permit to carry in New Jersey was a pipe dream, but it’s now reality. We’re making it even better and easier, and it is on the correct trajectory.


Evan Nappen 19:35

Well, one of the things that was proposed through the years that I actively supported, and I bet many of you did, was what we call National Reciprocity. Now, National Reciprocity was the idea to have a law that mandated that every state recognize every other state’s license to carry or permit to carry a handgun in the similar way that driver’s licenses are recognized. Of course, this made sense, but the gun rights oppressors have stopped it politically every time. When it’s come close, the Democrats have invoked the filibuster rule to kill it by a vote or two so it could never pass. Once we defeat the gun rights oppressors, this new bill that’s been proposed actually makes National Reciprocity obsolete. That’s right. What kind of bill would make national reciprocity obsolete? Well, let me tell you what bill that is.



Page – 4 – of 9



This is a bill an idea, and just getting this idea out there is wonderful in and of itself. I give a lot of credit to Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who has proposed HR 9534 (National Constitutional Carry Act). (https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/national-constitutional-carry-measure- introduced-in-congress/) What his bill is, are you ready for this, folks? National Constitutional Carry. Oh, my God, I love that. Don’t you love that? National Constitutional Carry.


Evan Nappen 21:33

Because, you know, now in the growth of the concealed carry liberty movement, not only do we have “shall issue” and the win in the Bruen decision, but we have more than half of the American states and over 70% of the geographic territory of America Constitutional Carry land. Meaning you don’t need a permission slip from the Government to carry with Constitutional Carry. If you’re legal to possess your gun, you can carry it. Period! No permission slip needed. Now the idea of National Constitutional Carry is as sweet as sweet gets. Let me tell you what Massey stated. He said in his introduction of the bill on X, he said, “No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country.” Amen. No one should have to do that. His legislation says, “Certain states and localities have enacted gun control laws that are not consistent with the text of the Second Amendment or this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. The criminalization of peaceable, public firearms carry is repugnant to the original meaning of the Second Amendment.” Damn right.


Evan Nappen 23:24

This bill has two provisions. Let’s look at both provisions to get this idea out there, understood, because we can push this and push this. We can vote. We can change the political dynamics in this country, and we can get this passed. We could do this, folks. Provision number one says, “No State or political subdivision of a State may impose a criminal or civil penalty on, or otherwise indirectly dissuade the carrying of firearms (including by imposing a financial or other barrier to entry) in public by residents or nonresidents of that State who are citizens of the United States and otherwise eligible to possess firearms under State and Federal law.”


Evan Nappen 24:26

The second provision says, “Any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage of a State or a political subdivision of a State that criminalizes, penalizes, or otherwise indirectly dissuades the carrying of firearms (including by imposing a financial or other barrier to entry) in public by any resident or non-resident who is United States citizen and otherwise eligible to possess firearms under State and Federal law, shall have no force or effect.” Beautiful, just beautiful. This National Constitutional Carry law will finally make the Second Amendment, our Second Amendment rights, exactly what the Founding Fathers intended those rights to be. This is exciting. This idea has finally been put out there as a bill that not only makes sense and reflects the truth, but it is a bill that actually reflects what is already the majority of states in America and 70% of the land mass in America.


Evan Nappen 26:09

So, it is not farfetched. It is not a pipe dream. It is something that can be made a reality. It’s being made a reality, step by step, as each state becomes Constitutional carry, but this will force it on those states that still engage in gun rights oppression. It is something that we can fight for and gain our rights back. And I wanted you, my listeners, to know about it, because it shows you. It shows you that there’s hope



Page – 5 – of 9



and that there is an offensive that we can still take, and boy, we’re going to take it. I’ll tell you when it starts. It starts with this election. So, make a difference. Make sure you, your friends, and family are registered to vote, and you all actually vote, because these are the kind of things that we can get done. It’s critical.


Evan Nappen 27:30

Now I have some of my favorite, favorite letters that come in to Ask Evan. I really love getting your letters and answering your questions. I look forward to doing these letters, and I know you, my listeners, enjoy them as well. So, here is a letter, and actually, it is something that I’ve received in a couple formats here, believe it or not. What it says is, and this one is from Ed, it says on a recent podcast, you said to never consent to a search. How can we politely and respectfully do that? What should we say and how would we say it, so as not to be a jerk while maintaining our rights. Thanks for your work fighting for rights, and your podcast is a never miss for me!


Evan Nappen 28:40

Well, Ed, I appreciate it. So, your question is, how do we politely and respectfully not consent to a search? And it’s really very simple. All you have to say to the law enforcement officer who is requesting a consent where they have no probable cause whatsoever, but they just want to engage in a fishing expedition at your cost, and they’re asking you to consent to a search of your home or your car. All you have to say to be polite and respectful is, go fuck yourself. Just kidding about that, folks. I would not actually advise saying that. You might think it, but what you can say is simply, “I do not consent to a search.” Now, why would you say, “I do not consent to a search”? Are you being a jerk if you say, “I do not consent to a search”? And look, I totally understand Ed and I appreciate what you’re saying. We want to be respectful, because we are respectful. Law enforcement has a job to do, and we get that. I don’t want to have a society without law enforcement. I’m not in favor of defunding the police. I don’t like the bad guys and the criminals, but I also love our Constitutional rights. Especially when you’re in a state like New Jersey, where there’s an agenda from above that forces our great men and women of law enforcement to have to enforce this agenda.


Evan Nappen 30:38

You want to be clear that you do not consent to a search. Just say those very words but say them in a nice way. Don’t say them in an obnoxious, nasty, terrible way. You simply say, “I don’t consent to a search.” By saying you don’t consent to the search, you make it crystal clear and unmistakable that you don’t consent to the search. And why is that so important? Because if the search is going to take place anyway and you have plainly not consented by saying that you don’t consent, it’s going to be a question as to whether there was probable cause for the search. As to whether there was sufficient justification under the Fourth Amendment for the search.


Evan Nappen 31:33

And let me say something that seems to be a problem with people getting it through their heads. Not consenting to a search is not probable cause to do a search. Some people will tell me, well, if I don’t consent to the search, they’ll think I’m hiding something. So what? That doesn’t mean there’s probable cause for a search because you didn’t give up your Constitutional rights. It is your right, not their right. It’s your right. Don’t consent to giving up your rights. By not consenting, you actually protect your rights.



Page – 6 – of 9



And by being clear about not consenting, you protect your rights, and that’s what we must do. It’s not to be insulting to the officer who’s trying to do their job. It’s not insulting most of the time when an officer is a person who recognizes they have a job to do, but it’s actually sympathetic to the gun owner. If you refuse the search by saying, I don’t consent to the search, many times they’re secretly glad. I’m not kidding, secretly glad, okay? You didn’t consent to the search. Well, then they’re not going to search. Oh, well, guess they’re not searching. It isn’t necessarily anything that they’re going to be upset about.


Evan Nappen 33:12

Not necessarily, folks, not necessarily at all. Because let me tell you something, I get a lot of referrals of people that get in trouble, and they call me to represent them. And do you know that many, many of those referrals, and I appreciate it, come from the police officers themselves. How can that be? Why would an officer refer the person to me to defend them? Because they know that they have a job to do, but they are sympathetic to the gun owners. They know. Believe me, they’re not referring some guy that just, you know, robbed the bank. Oh, call Nappen, and they’ll get you off. No, they’re not sending them. They know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. They know what laws suck and shouldn’t even be on the books. But they’re forced to do their job and which ones don’t. Same comes to this, my friends. Be polite. Be respectful. But stand on your rights and make it clear that you’re not consenting. Because if that search still takes place, then we’re going to seek the protection of the Fourth Amendment.


Evan Nappen 34:37

Now we come to one of the most favorite segments of the show, and that’s the GOFU. The Gun Owner Fuck Up. And why do we talk about GOFUs? Because a GOFU is a very expensive lesson that gun owners have learned that may have cost them their gun rights, their freedom, etc., that you get to learn for free by listening to the show. Now today’s GOFU is based on a letter that I received. It’s not yet a GOFU that has impacted this person writing, but it sure has the potential. That’s what I want to warn you about. So, this is from Chris, and I appreciate the letter. Also, I have another one, very similar from Jim, believe it or not. Here’s what Chris writes, and I’ll read you what Jim writes regarding. Oh, I’m sorry. You know what? This is not a GOFU. Here’s the GOFU. The GOFU is from Jim.


Evan Nappen 35:56

Before I get to Jim, where I do have a second letter, by the way, that is from Jim. He did a follow up. I guess this letter from Chris. Let’s just go to this one, not the GOFU, though, this too could be a GOFU. Chris says, regarding New Jersey Permit to Carry – Duty to Disclose — possibility of cased firearm searches. Hello, Mr. Nappen. I’m a regular listener to your informative, entertaining Gun Lawyer podcast. Thank you for producing such valuable content. I am a New Jersey Permit to Carry holder, and I understand my Duty to Inform a law enforcement officer if stopped while actively carrying concealed firearm on my person, and also now, punitively, when I’m simply transporting case handguns at the range. My question pertains to maintaining my legal rights against a subsequent vehicle search after my mandatory disclosure. Other than requesting to inspect the firearms where they have a right to do if they’re investigating as they do, might I be transporting in my vehicle at the time of the stop, etc, yes, can I refuse the search inspection requests of my cased firearms? So, the question is a good one. It’s about Duty to Disclose and its ramifications. So, recognizing, as Chris does, that you have to disclose if you have that carry permit, even if you’re transporting the firearms to the range, and you



Page – 7 – of 9



have that carry permit, to what degree does it open up for more searching? And that is where, again, you do not consent to a further search. You have to disclose, and they do have the right to inspect the handgun if there’s that “investigation”. But further searching, you do not have to consent.


Evan Nappen 37:51

Now, let me just make this clear. Your consent and not giving it is one thing, but if you do not consent, you have no right to stop or resist the officer from searching. The fact is that you just want to be on record that you’re not consenting to further search, but if they insist, they’re going to search without probable cause. They’re going to conduct an illegal search. Well, that’s on them. It’s on them. They’ll have to explain to the judge, and maybe even in a civil rights lawsuit, why they thought that was okay when you clearly did not give your consent. But Duty to Disclose is currently the law, and we have to abide by that Duty to Disclose. Challenges are in the works, actual cases challenging it. I don’t know. I think it has one foot in the grave, but we’ll see. For now, I don’t want to see that GOFU on you for not disclosing. Still, after you disclose and do allow for inspection of your carry handgun, as the law requires, do not consent to further searches. Never resist in any way if the officer wants to continue searching without your consent.


Evan Nappen 39:19

Now to the big GOFU. The big GOFU is from Jim. Jim says, I love your podcast. I have your book and one you signed 25 years ago. Yes, you must have Nappen One, the book that started the legend there. Actually, they sell for a lot of money online. I don’t know why that is. Kind of funny, but I’m glad you have it. I’ve been at it a while. I’m glad you have the book and kept yourself out of trouble, hopefully using it. Jim says, my question is, I live with a woman, but we are unmarried. Well, I am not judging that, that’s for sure. Together, we are raising her three now adult offspring. Two of them live with us, and one has moved into an apartment he shares with a roommate. Moving from a big house, not the big house, I hope, from a big house to a small apartment, he has left many things behind, including . . ., can you guess? I bet I can guess. I have a New Jersey Firearms ID Card and a carry permit. Is he, the gun owner, or me, the house owner, at risk? Is anybody at risk? Thank you. Then this must be the same Jim who sent me again regarding, is this a GOFU? My son moved out to an apartment he shares with a roommate. As the apartment is small, he’s left behind many things, including his guns. Is he or I at risk? I love your work. I have your new book. I also have a 25 year old autographed version of your first edition. So, I actually have two letters from Jim, which shows me how much he wanted me to take his question.


Evan Nappen 41:04

Jim, I’m happy to. Because this is an important thing, and I run into this in the practice. If he has moved out and he’s no longer a resident of his old house and he’s actually changed his residency, the question becomes, how is he storing his guns at a place that is no longer his residence? Because residency is the exemption under 2C:39-6 for keeping guns, and he can’t store guns at somebody else’s residence. So, now the guns are being stored there, and it’s not exempt for him. The problem is, well, what is your risk if the guns are there? Your risk even arguably could be if the State tried to allege they were unlawfully transferred to you. Or if the guns are present there and not owned by you but claimed to be owned by him, can they somehow be combined in some conspiracy charge? Who knows how far the gun rights oppressors are willing to go?



Page – 8 – of 9



Evan Nappen 42:22

A likely, common scenario is if this person who has moved out, who left his guns in your house, has some kind of issue with the new roommate, where some domestic violence allegation has been made, let’s say, or some other problem like that. Then it comes out that his guns are at your house. Guess whose guns are getting seized? Not just his, but yours as well. Whereas if he stored his guns at his place, they would have no reason to come to your place to take your guns over any potential problem that the other person might have. I see these things happen all the time with innocent third parties having their guns seized, particularly in the abuse of the domestic violence law, where guns are seized instantly.


Evan Nappen 43:26

You know, it’s more difficult to get a ticket at Wawa to get a deli sandwich there, than to seize guns in New Jersey, you know? I mean, it’s ridiculous. So, you’re opening yourself up to added liability for losing your own guns. The nature of the possession of everybody there, with guns that don’t belong to you, guns that belong to him, but there’s no longer an exemption, can create a whole host of problems that we might have to sort through. Even on getting guns returned that belong to you or fighting criminal charges. So, keep it clean. Don’t have firearms that don’t belong to you and don’t belong to somebody who’s not living in that household in the house there. It’s simple. You don’t want to be a GOFU, and there’s plenty of potential there for that to happen. I appreciate all the questions, folks.


Evan Nappen 44:35

This is Evan Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.
