Quadriplegic NJ man gets right to bear arms

A quadriplegic who is physically unable to hold a gun or pull a trigger has filed suit against a town and its police chief, contending a decision to deny him a firearms purchaser ID card amounts to discrimination.

James Cap, a 46-year-old Manville resident who suffered a devastating spinal cord injury during a high school football game three decades ago, argues he can safely handle a gun with assistance.

A friend could place the weapon on a special wheelchair mount, he contends, and a mechanical device would allow him to aim and fire with breaths through a tube.
