Brian Aitken is a media and marketing entrepreneur[1] who was arrested and imprisoned for possession of handguns legally purchased in Colorado and transported in New Jersey from one residence to another. His case has become a battleground for gun control advocates and opponents alike after he was sentenced to seven years in prison.[2] On 20 December 2010, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a letter ordering the immediate release of Aitken from Mid-State Correctional Facility.[3] For about a year, from January 2011 through January 2012, Aitken was the Director of New Media for America’s oldest free market organization, the Foundation for Economic Education[4][dead link] and has spoken openly about freedom and liberty.[5][6]

On March 30, 2012 two of the three convictions were overturned by the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division and on April 4, 2012 the State of New Jersey dismissed the outstanding charge of ‘Illegal Possession of Firearms’.

Remaining charge is possession of hollow point ammo.

It’s not illegal under ANY statue, but that’s the remaining charge, keeping him from seeing his son.
