Mount Laurel, New Jersey resident Brian Aitken has begun serving a seven year prison sentence for transporting guns that he legally owned. Based on reports, Aitken was back home in New Jersey from Colorado following a separation from his wife.  The trouble started when his mother began to call the police on him after he muttered something under his breath.  Something the likes of which sound rather typical from someone moving back home after marital problems.  He muttered:   "Life is not worth living..." or something of the sort.  Aitken's mother is a social worker, naturally.

The police showed up and searched Aitken's car.  They found two guns in his trunk that he had purchased while living in Colorado, and arrested him.  Both of the guns were locked and unloaded, as state law requires, but the officers noted that Aitken did have "large capacity" magazines and hollow point bullets.  Additionally, Aitken was required to have a "purchasers" permit simply to own the gun in New Jersey and also a "carry" permit to have the guns in his car.

Now, Aitken finds himself in prison for essentially doing what most Americans consider a constitutional right.

There is even a Facebook page dedicated to freeing him.

First, let's define "large capacity" magazines.  More specifically, what does the state of New Jersey have to say about "large capacity" magazines?  Their law reads:

New Jersey prohibits the manufacture, transport, shipment, sale, or disposal of any large capacity ammunition magazine, unless the magazine is intended to be used for authorized military or law enforcement purposes. N.J. Rev. Stat § 2C:39-9h. New Jersey law defines "large capacity ammunition magazine" as a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly into a semi-automatic firearm. Section 2C:39-1y.
