THE ANTI-LAWYER REVOLUTION
By David C. Grossack

A movement has been gradually emerging and spreading across
America. It is born of frustration, despair
and anger. It exists in the tiniest little hamlets on the
Hawaiian islands to the islands off of Maine, and is
found in every city and town in between.

I call it the Anti-Lawyer Revolution and I know it intimately.
As a lawyer who has coached pro-se
litigants since his days in law school, I have been listening to
grievances about my profession for over
20 years. I rarely thought about one of my own grievances.

ANJRPC SUES NY/NJ PORT AUTHORITY FOR JAILING HONEST GUN OWNER

February 27, 2006 - The Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol
Clubs, Inc. (ANJRPC) announced that it has commenced a lawsuit
against the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and one of
its police officers for wrongfully arresting and imprisoning for
nearly five days a 57-year old Utah man delayed at Newark
Airport by a baggage error while traveling from Utah to
Pennsylvania.

The lawsuit seeks more than $3 million in damages for civil
rights violations and a permanent injunction forcing the Port
Authority to follow Federal law on interstate transport of
locked, unloaded firearms that have been secured in luggage and
declared by law-abiding citizens.

The Utah man, Gregg Revell, a real estate broker and family man
with no criminal record and a Utah firearms permit, was flying
alone from Salt Lake City, UT to Allentown, PA to retrieve a car
he bought and drive it home. He was travelling with a firearm
for personal protection. As required by Federal law, the firearm
was unloaded, cased, locked and inside his luggage when he
declared it at check-in in Salt Lake City on March 31, 2005.

Due to an airline-caused baggage error, Mr. Revell missed his
connection from Newark to Allentown and had to stay overnight in
New Jersey. When he checked in at Newark Airport the next
morning to complete his travels, he again declared his firearm,
as required by FAA regulations. He was then arrested for
possession of a firearm without a New Jersey state license, and
imprisoned in Essex County jail for five days until his family
arranged bail, which had been initially set unusually high at
$15,000 cash (no bond).

But Mr. Revell's travels were protected by the Firearms Owner
Protection Act, a Federal law passed in 1986 to protect
law-abiding citizens who travel with firearms. (See 18 U.S.C. ยง
926A.) That law trumps state and local gun laws and protects
interstate travel with firearms under certain circumstances, all
of which were present in Mr. Revell's case. Several months after
the arrest, all charges were withdrawn and the prosecutor's case
administratively dismissed.

"The Port Authority blatantly violated Federal law when it
arrested Gregg Revell," said Scott Bach, President of the
Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs and a member of
the NRA Board of Directors. "Those charged with enforcing the
law have a special responsibility to follow it themselves," Bach
continued. "Mr. Revell's arrest is part of a pattern of similar
misconduct by the Port Authority throughout the New York-New
Jersey metropolitan areas."

"This lawsuit is intended to send a signal not only to the Port
Authority but to every agency and officer responsible for
policing our airports and highways: if you violate the rights of
law-abiding gun owners, you will be held fully accountable." The
lawsuit also names the arresting Port Authority police officer,
Scott Erickson, as a defendant.

Once inside Essex County prison, Mr. Revell was subjected to
numerous atrocities. He was thrown into a holding cell with 28
inmates, many of whom were admitted murderers and rapists. He
endured a repulsive vomit-covered bed and toilet, was denied his
blood pressure and migraine medication, innoculated against his
will, given inedible food, strip-searched, and left only with
his wits to survive.

"I did nothing wrong yet was arrested and subjected to the worst
treatment imaginable for almost a week," said Mr. Revell, who
has 8 children, 8 grandchildren and has been married for 36
years. "I brought this lawsuit together with the Association of
New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs because I want to stop this kind
of abuse from ever happening again," said Revell. "No one should
ever have to experience what I experienced," he said. "I paid
the price, but I'm committed to making sure no one else does."
