Patrick Callahan had initially overstated the number saying that there were 700 officers with the novel coronavirus during a Saturday briefing but in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northjersey.com\/story\/news\/2020\/03\/29\/nj-700-state-police-officers-test-positive-coronavirus\/2935705001\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"over-160-new-jersey-police-officers-test-positive-for-covid-19\" title=\"Over 160 New Jersey Police Officers Test Positive for COVID-19\">statement<\/a> on Sunday the agency corrected the number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDuring a recent COVID-19 press conference, Col. Patrick Callahan overstated the Law Enforcement Statewide Positive cases,\u201d read the statement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It went on to add that while 163 cops tested positive, another 1,272 officers around the state were in quarantine and 1,435 were \u201cout for other reasons.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb reacted to the news of compromised police force, noting that it shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis stunning report should surprise nobody,\u201d Gottlieb said, \u201cbecause police interact daily with scores, if not hundreds of people. It would defy odds if none became infected, and assurances by the authorities that they still have the manpower to respond to emergencies don\u2019t mean much to people when crimes are happening right now and police are several minutes, or longer, away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/inmates-released-committing-murder\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"over-160-new-jersey-police-officers-test-positive-for-covid-19\" title=\"Over 160 New Jersey Police Officers Test Positive for COVID-19\"> Inmates Released to Protect Against COVID-19 Already Committing Murder<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SAF recently sued New Jersey over Gov. Phil Murphy\u2019s decision to shutter gun stores during the crisis.&nbsp; On Monday, Murphy announced that gun stores would reopen. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted that Gov. Murphy has reversed course on this matter, even if it took a lawsuit to get him to do it,\u201d said Gottlieb. \u201cOur lawsuit cut right to the heart of what the Second Amendment is all about, which is personal protection during emergency situations like the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has gripped the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gottlieb believes that Murphy\u2019s hand was forced not only because of the SAF lawsuit but because he looked like a hypocrite with his armed security detail, meanwhile Garden State residents couldn\u2019t even buy ammunition, let alone a firearm prior to the reversal. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile we pursue litigation elsewhere,\u201d Gottlieb added, \u201cwe\u2019re happy that the situation in New Jersey has changed. Regardless what some politicians might think, the Second Amendment is not subject to emergency orders, same as the First, Fourth, Fifth or other constitutional protections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is one more example of SAF\u2019s ongoing mission to win back firearms freedom, one lawsuit at a time,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several other states and municipalities have declared gun shops \u201cnon-essential\u201d in recent weeks.&nbsp; However, they may too reverse course now that the Department of Homeland Security has added the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/everytown-on-gun-industry-being-essential\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"over-160-new-jersey-police-officers-test-positive-for-covid-19\" title=\"Over 160 New Jersey Police Officers Test Positive for COVID-19\">gun industry to the list of \u201ccritical infrastructure.\u201d <\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if these new federal guidelines aren\u2019t enough of a reason, impending legal action from SAF along with the double-standard of politicians having armed protection during this pandemic might tip the scales. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>*** &nbsp;<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It went on to add that while 163 cops tested positive, another 1,272 officers around the state were in quarantine and 1,435 were \u201cout for other reasons.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":126610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-126593","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Over 160 New Jersey Police Officers Test Positive for COVID-19<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As many as 163 New Jersey police officers have tested positive for COVID-19.
