Shaneen Allen is a single mother of two boys from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
She was arrested October 1, 2013 in New Jersey during a routine traffic stop in which she provided the officer with her concealed weapons license and informed him that she indeed had her pistol in her possession.
She has no criminal record and works two jobs. The main reason she bought the gun and got her CWL is because she was a victim of two robberies while traveling home at night.
This lady was not harming anyone and she wasn't in the act of committing a crime. She was just protecting herself from a third attack.
Please sign this petition and let's demand Governor Christopher James Christie to commute Ms. Allen like he did Brian Aitken in 2010
This would be greatly appreciated.

I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam but look at us now. Every single person who clicked that button is helping show that Shaneen deserves a second chance because honestly she was just trying to stay safe and nothing more.

The law is supposed to protect people not punish victims. What a waste of tax money locking her up.
Free Shaneen!! She has no record and was only trying to be safe after being robbed. This makes me so mad.
This is total insanity. She did the right thing by telling the cop. Give her a break she has kids to raise!
Absolute disgrace. She is a working mom not a criminal. Christie needs to do the right thing and commute her sentence now.
TRAP. Laws like this set people up to fail. She was honest and got punished for it. Free her.

NJ gun laws are a joke. Poor woman was just scared for her safety. Let her go home to her family.
