Why is a single mother of two driving to Atlantic City (a good hour and 20 minute drive) at 1 am? The story about hiding a birthday cake and dog at a hotel is suspect. More than likely she bought the gun as a straw purchase or she was partying it up in AC.
Are you one of those cops from the movie Minority Report who can see crimes in the future? Thank God that dangerous criminal will be locked away for 3 years.

This is ridiculous.
What we have is an issue with NJ's gun laws, and I think that is the original point the OP was trying to make. These laws get passed by anti-gunners and ignorant "pro-gunners" because they believe the result will be less crime (by the violent offenders who are usually causing the problems), but the result is that otherwise law-abiding citizens are turned into criminals by exercising their right to self defense by carrying a firearm.
A mother with a previously clean record was arrested because she broke a law that was not intended to send her to jail, but the violent offenders spilling blood on the streets. She has been made a criminal by the law even though she wasn't the one intended to be targeted (assuming good motives by the politicians here), and that's the real travesty here. She's at fault for not knowing the law, but what this really shows is that these gun laws usually wind up hurting the otherwise law-abiding citizens more than the ones who are using firearms to kill others.

Generally, a very good post.
Here is a piece that I have an issue with, however.

I'm not anti-second amendment by any stretch.
The thing is, NJ has had serious violence issues in two particular areas - Newark and Camden - for a very long time. If you're caught carrying a gun in either of those areas, you're effectively arrested; it's unfortunate, but what else is a state supposed to do when gun violence is so rampant for so long...?
To those who think 'more guns' are the solution, just remember, more guns means more people carrying guns - and more people shooting at each other in those two particular areas.
I wouldn't be surprised if this situation blows over and the woman gets no severe penalty.
I would certainly hope that's how this plays out.
