This is the astoundingly unlucky pet store owner from Sussex County,
who authorities said happened to have the exact same name as
the intended target of five thugs from Missouri. They had believed
him to be a different Jeffrey Muller, a New York power broker
who had swindled them out of $500,000, so they grabbed the
wrong man in an abduction last year.
Muller, owner of J&G Pet Foods in Newton, was assaulted, zapped
with a stun gun and kidnapped. Blindfolded in a sock hat, he was
driven all the way from New Jersey to Lake Ozark, Mo. under
death threats, until he finally managed to escape.
Now, lo and behold, the man feels unsafe. He wants a gun license,
because he fears avenging family members of the arrested
kidnappers may attack him again. But a Superior Court judge in
Morristown this week denied his second request for the license,
saying he provided “no proof of justifiable need” to carry a weapon.
Come again?
This guy has more reason than anyone to take advantage of his Second Amendment rights.
Maybe this 'd be a good case to appeal to the USSC.

@OmSigDAVID,
Worst case if you can't procure firearms any other way, you can still mail order black powder cap/ball revolvers, which are legally the same thing more or less as slingshots in most parts of America. Nonetheless prior to around 1880, everybody ever killed by firearms was killed by black powder weapons.
@gungasnake,
I 'd rather find an underground gunsmith.
