But it is the easy way to appear to the sheep that the PD is doing something. The hard part would be to go back to grass roots police work and get tough on the criminals.
-That's my point really, entirely separate of anything he may or may not be doing otherwise, he is pandering to the those that bleat the loudest at the expense of people who have done nothing wrong.
Oh yeah exactly the same thing Sen Chang-Diaz is doing...

"We are not just going to give out firearm permits just because someone asks for one," DeMoura said. "Or if we do, we are going to be very stringent and follow the guidelines and very clearly, I'm not looking at having everyone who gets a license to carry and possess it on them."
What an odd thing to say. He goes from "we aren't going to do it", then probably realizes what he is saying is illegal, so he clarifies, but he makes it sound like they aren't at present stringent or following the guidelines.
Next time someone kills a person with their car in Fitchburg I'm sure he is going to take away everyone's license or at least be very stringent and follow the guidelines.
I wish morons like this didn't feel like they had to "take action" and get some soundclips out there proving that they are doing something.

The problem is LTC's are discretionary issue in MA. It's not "illegal' for this turd to put up a blockade. It's why there are still many deep red and deep black towns in MA. With legal power, you can probably muscle your way into an LTC if needed, but the problem is that MA laws and most courts often side with the chiefs. Even if a court orders him to issue a permit to someone, there is no real long-term punishment for the guy at all. He can just skip over that one guy and resume punishing everyone else.

This chief needs to grow a pair and stand up to their current policy. By doing what he is doing he is hurting law abiding citizens not to mention making it look like they weren't following procedure before.
No, but what would worry me is if I own a bunch of stuff that's legal on my Class A...then I go in for renewal and they bump me down to a Class B...he's just made me a felon.
If the police chief will not allow concealed carry would open carry be an option?
What would happen if you were to apply for an FID (which is a "Shall Issue" item) and walk around town with a low capacity tactical shotgun strapped to you?
Every gun owner there should lawyer-up when dealing with this a-hole.
Hell, I'm in the next town over and would like to throw some of my hard to get money at this. Wonder if we could start a collection and hire Cross-X to represent a member coming up for renewal? Or something similar?
