New Jersey man serving 7 years for guns he owned legally
"Aitken had passed an FBI background check to buy them in Colorado when he lived there, his father said, and had contacted New Jersey State Police and discussed the proper way to transport them.
New Jersey and Colorado are on opposite ends of the gun-control spectrum. In Colorado, all he needed was the background check to own the guns.
In the Garden State, Aitken was required to have a purchaser's permit from New Jersey to own the guns and a carry permit to have them in his car."

What a screwed up liberal mother (and I use that term very loosely) Who's son remark, crossed her threshold of what she would not accept and a quick dim witted as she can be called the cops instead of calling him back in and speaking to him. This is just wrong when that cop puts his ;johnson; in the calfs mouth is more than likely doing just fine and not serving 7 yrs in prision. This type of BS boils my gut, most of NJ needs to wake up to the modern world as well as D.C. in other metro cities in the north,south,west not to include kalifornia, east have by stat's have a lower than national gun crime related crimes.... I'm stopping now b4 I offend others or the anti-gunners.

Yes I read this article and was furious. In fact I believe NJ is violating federal law as far as the "Safe Passage Act" is concerned. Someone correct me?
-
The Safe Passage act requires that you meet the legal requirements at your destination, so you might have a point, but the court disallowed all the testimony that the man was traveling, so that defense was not available to him. I assume that move got them around the Federal law too.
I think it will be overturned on appeal, but it is New Jersey

Gov. Chris Christie commutes sentence of man convicted of having guns in N.J. illegally
TRENTON -- Brian Aitken, who was convicted of illegally possessing two handguns that he had legally purchased in Colorado, will be spending Christmas out of prison.
Gov. Chris Christie commuted Aitken's sentence, from seven years to time served, according to an order the governor signed today.
Supporters of Aitken began a "Free Brian Aitken" Facebook campaign to get his sentence commuted.

Too bad he was only commuted and not pardoned. The "offense" is still on his record, he's still a felon. This needs to be wiped clean. Good job on Gov. Christie, though.
-
I am still following his facebook page, it looks like Brain ain't gonna roll over and give up, he is still fighting on the whole thing.
-
Good. He needs to fight until they have overturned his conviction. I don't understand why the gov didn't just pardon him and solve the issue right then and there.
