Looking for a flaw in this logic:From a random but educated search I can see that he did 18 mos mandatory for a gun case in 2007 and then did 5-7 for another one in 2009. Both were plea deals.
Suppose our man from the hood had once had an LTC and let it expire.
He would be forever covered by the "not a criminal offense, just a civil violation" as long as he did not pick up an offense making him a PP or applied for a renewal and denied.
There is no provision in the law to revoke or suspend an expired permit.
Would this person then be forever immunized against a criminal firearms carry charge in MA?
That is provided for in the laws of each state because it is something the vast majority of people may find themselves in need of. As to "recognition" - until SCOTUS weighed in, gay marriage was like a carry permit - recognized in some other states, but not all. Only a SCOTUS decision specific to gay marriage forced universal recognition.Why are drivers licenses reciprocal and a civil right not? I’m not being a wiseass. It’s a legitimate question.
As to the original question - it falls into the same category as "How are the NFA and state license fees/requirements not an infrimgement?".
