My uneducated reading on this is that Marsha wants the Feds to kick it back to a state court.
AG's response to the court's request for supplemental briefing has been posted.
Not a lawyer so clearly this is Chinese to me

Ha ha!Since you are not a lawyer, you should not be permitted to comment on such matters.

You mean Comm2A just posted this...
I. The Court Should Abstain Because the Resolution of State Law Issues Could Obviate the Need to Decide the Second Amendment Claims.
A. Additional Fact Finding is Necessary to Identify the Current Policy in Each Community With Respect to First-Time Applications for Licenses to Carry.
It seems reasonable to me to keep it at a federal level. The state court system has too much inbreeding and collusion with the state government to really ever rule against them in any significant manner. Seems the only way to really effect any change is at the federal level.
The Commonwealth is the outlier here. The responses filed by the towns agreed with us that the court should NOT certify a question to the SJC.That's why Comm2A filed in Federal Court and why Marsha wants it in state court.

The Chiefs were warned for many years that continuing to abuse the system would eventually lead to them being cut out of it.
Lets hope that this is the start of it.
The whole idea of the way it was structured to begin with so was that a chief would be able to keep known dirt bags that had never actually been convicted from getting a LTC.
I can think of one example in the town where I grew up in where the guy was getting drunk and beating the crap out of his wife and kids regularly.
She never pressed charges out of fear.
Poor gal looked like she went 3 rounds with Tyson half the time.
The guy got told to take a hike when he did apply.
It would be sad if a guy like that did end up armed and hurting someone or worst, because the state didn't know what the locals did, but they brought it down on themselves by abusing their authority.
They are also clearly misrepresenting the content of 140 § 131(d) in order to stress "the applicant has good reason to fear injury to his person or property" and ignore the existence of the phrase "or for any other reason".
They also contend that the plaintiffs can reapply and have a judicial review if restricted even though that is clearly not the case.

This is weymouth a written policy on issuing LTC's seems clear that regardless if it's a new or renewal if you can't document a "need" you get restricted.
I can not understand how laws and regulations can be so different and decided by one person from town/city. can't get one here move there. New CLEO different rules. Makes my head spin how they get away with it. it's just un ****ing believe !!!!
The weymouth policy were like that before grimes. I got jerked around and basically told to screw on getting unrestricted. Even when renewing in another town early to get out from under them they refused to expire early and forced me to wait out the full time of the license.

Then make it a state process, with a state form. Have a checkbox for where a local police chief can pay a $500 fee to appeal the application.
Here is all the documentation one needs:

The law is the same in all towns. That law gives the police chief discretion in issuing licenses.
As bad as MA law is, in some states it is almost impossible to get a carry license.
