I was told at that time a complete review of all files, micro film going as far back as possible was ordered by then Governor Patrick. I believe this look back was extensive and the intention was clearly to harass and revoke.I wonder if it had something to do when PD/Licensing Officer ran background checks. When you run a BOP check in Mass, some of the selections are "Employment" "Criminal" Firearms Licensing" etc. Sealed records won't come up under "Criminal", but they do come up under "Firearms Licensing" and if I remember correctly they will be mailed to PD. I wonder if they were running the inquiry wrong for a while (not agreeing with the Commonwealth sticking it to you, just noting how it could have been done). Not all cops are the best with computer systems.
