A great example of poor gun laws and bad litigation. Hopefully his petition will do some good....

Judge gave them little choice? Its called jury nullification & its proper. Duh.

I, too, will be e-mailing the Governor (I am a NJ Citizen.)

The police in New Jersey will set you up with a baggie or something. I met an Ex NJ cop in Vermont who laughed about all the people NJ Police "set up" if they don't like them!

Nj citizen here. Any follow up on this case? I can't find anything.

TIA

I notice the lawyer mentioned in connection to this case is the same lawyer on speakerphone during the DYFS and police attempted raid due to a FB photo.

Good on Evan Nappen!

Not a NJian, but I'd put that guy on retainer and speed-dial if I were!

This thread was kind of near of top of the first page of the NJ forum, but I see it's not too recent and conviction was overturned, per Grape's post.

However, I think this is the scariest part of the article, scary relative to how easily 2A is infringed and denied: "Yet Judge Morley wouldn't allow Aitken to claim the exemption for transporting guns between residences. He wouldn't even let the jury know about it."

Glad it had a good ending.
