A man is in custody after allegedly pulling his licensed gun during a road rage incident in Lakewood today, TLS has learned.
At approximately 9:00 AM this morning, two drivers got into a road rage altercation on Rt. 9, and words were exchanged.
The incident escalated, and that’s when one driver allegedly pulled out his licensed gun and waved it in the air.
Both the suspect and victim went to Lakewood Police headquarters to give statements. Following the reports, police obtained a search warrant for the vehicle and recovered a handgun.
Police tell TLS the suspect was charged with Unjustified Display of a Firearm, Terroristic Threats and Possession of a Weapon for Unlawful Purposes.
The suspect is being transported to Ocean County Jail for processing.
Should he be convicted, he will likely lose his gun carry license and privileges, police told TLS.
We don’t know all the circumstances yet so it’s really hard to judge whether he should be convicted or not for that we have to wait till more details come out
Thanks for the update, Sarge.
Never draw your weapon until your ready to fire!
it was bound to happen sooner or later. if he left his gun on his hip where it belonged the other driver would never have known he was armed.
Does anyone have more details on what happened?
Waiting 20 years to be able to carry only to loose it for good. Let this be a lesson if your going to carry a gun which You should check your ego at the door
CANT DO THAT
This whole world is a scary place to live. My 9 year daughter was sitting
On the steps tonight waiting for me to come home and a white car pulled up and a man with a mustache took a picture of her and drove off. If I’m not rattled enough
From the matzav in e’y this got my nerves even more frayed.
Don’t jumped to conclusions. Maybe he was wrong but right now its he said she said
CCW is the dumbest law in the country. Many people will be injured and/or arrested because they lack the proper discipline and training to carry a weapon. Leave it to the professionals!
which professionals? the cops? the military? do you even know the constitution ? do you know why the people should be an armed militia ?
I am a veteran and see no reason for a concealed carry. Most people I have heard carry have no business even owning a firearm. Pull one on me and you will eat the muzzle.
The reason is the constitution…the one you signed up to protect when you joined the military. It is too protect us from a govt that has to much power at the current time. Protect us from the Liberals who want to take everything you’ve worked hard to earn and give it to those to lazy to earn it themselves.
