I doubt the prosecution will have to. It isn't on the roster, so therefore the dealer violated the law. And chances are the dealer will plead out anyways.I hope they catch someone buying a Kimber and then have to explain how it is an inferior product made of inferior materials in court.

...Would be nice if all the FFL's in this state, (except Northeast Traitors), would band together, lawyer-up and push back....
I own a Kimber too (and the ones I've had, have been decent) but that question can be taken a few different ways.
I said Kimber; not Glock.
This is going to be my first and last post on this site. I'm going to ask to have my account deleted.
There's a sting operation underway in MA right now that could happen as soon as this weekend.
The authorities are going to try to bust a gun dealer for selling a handgun that is not on the Approved Roster. It'll be one of those guns that seems to be approved, but will be a slightly different finish or model. Since many dealers have only a partial grasp of the convoluted regulations in your state, it should be easy for them to find a victm.
It will be a weak case at best and the dealer will probably beat it in court, but that is not the reason for this exercise. The Patrick administration hopes to play it up big in the media, and use it as a reason to crack down and enact even stricter laws.
Please tell your local dealers about this, and urge them to use extreme caution in the coming weeks.
The Mass Association of Firearm Retailors has been started back up. I went to a meeting, but seriously we are to few now in my opinion to make that much of an impact.

I still don't understand why you would waste all this man power/hours on something like this?

Say instead of one dealer they bust 24 dealers for selling blued Sig 239s instead of the approved stainless ones. The already-prepared headline in The Globe will read:
Dozens of Gun Dealers Caught Selling Illegal Handguns
Patrick won't even need the legislature behind him. His office can create some CMR to make it very difficult on the dealers (additional 'oversight', exorbitant fees, more licenses, can't be within 5000' of a school, etc).

If there was a solid chance this were BS I truly believe Derek and the moderators would have flushed this thread. Have faith in their judgment.

It isn't the law, it is an AG regulation. A stupid one.
