A New Jersey security guard arrested for carrying a firearm -- for which
he had a permit -- and legal ammunition joined "Fox & Friends" Monday, to
share details of his arrest and call for a reform of New Jersey's
"convoluted" gun laws.

Roosevelt Twyne, a 25-year-old security guard, was driving home from a
shift when he was arrested by Roselle Park Police in February after he was
stopped for having tinted windows on his car, he explained.

Twyne said he informed the officer "that I have my firearm as well and I
was just going home, a block away from the house."

"He asked for me to repeat that or do I have anything to prove it? I told
him yes, I gave him all my credentials ... carry permits, license and
again informed him I'm just coming home from work. I live a block away.
I'm right there," he explained.

Twyne said the officer then instructed him to step out of the vehicle, and
that he "complied with everything he asked me to do...and just got
arrested from there."

"The problem is, you hear a lot about victims of gun violence. We don't
hear about victims of gun laws."

— Evan Nappen, 'Fox & Friends'
Evan Nappen, Twyne's attorney who joined him on "Fox & Friends," said his
client was charged for illegally carrying a firearm and being in
possession of so-called hollow-point ammunition, which has previously been
declared legal by state officials, he explained.

"What's happening here is the befuddlement of New Jersey gun laws," Nappen
said. "The problem is, you hear a lot about victims of gun violence. We
don't hear about...victims of gun laws. The laws being so convoluted and
so messed up in terms of trying to do the right thing."

Nappen praised his client for jumping "through every hoop to make sure he
was fully vetted" in obtaining a gun permit, a process that is notoriously
difficult in the state.

"Some believe the Second Amendment is your permit to carry and he went and
got a New Jersey carry permit, which is really complicated," he said.

Twyne scored a 98 on credentials for shooting qualifications, Nappen
explained, adding that his client had the proper permit to purchase the
firearm.

"There are nine million people, approximately in New Jersey, he got one of
the 800 that are only issued of the carry permits in the state," Nappen
continued.

The Roselle Park Police Department issued a statement to Fox News
responding to the arrest, saying "Mr. Twyne was charged after it was
determined that he was not in compliance with the specifications of the
law pertaining to the lawful transportation of his firearm. These charges
were approved by the Union County Prosecutor's Office."

Nappen rejected the charges against his client, reiterating that "he did
absolutely nothing wrong," and that "he's absolutely within the law."

Since his arrest, Twyne said he has been suspended from his job due to the
pending charges and that he is having a difficult time finding work.

"It's a little hard right now trying to find something to keep me on my
feet," he explained.

Twyne is scheduled to go before the court on April 2.

"We are hoping that the state comes to their senses," said Nappen. "This
is not the person they should be prosecuting."

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
