My memory is that in the early 1980's an FID card was required to own a pellet gun. Am I wrong on this? I remember it as just another one of those nanny state things that you could buy in New Hampshire, but banned in Mass.
And if I am remembering it right, does anyone know when the rules on pellet guns changed? And when they were restricted, were they classed as firearms, or as something else? Oh, the good old days!
Interesting memory. Prior to 1983 there was confusion on this. In 1983 the SJC held that an air gun was not a firearm and the only restriction was that imposed on minors not being able to possess them without an adult. Not sure why others should need an fid thoughMy memory is that in the early 1980's an FID card was required to own a pellet gun. Am I wrong on this?

In 1976, I had to show a LTC and do the FA-10 to purchase a pellet pistol at Ivanhoe's in Watertown. It was the law back then.

I remember getting pulled over as a teenager in good old Manchester-by-the-sea. The reason you ask? I had an air freshener hanging from my rear view mirror....
The cop was so nice to only give me a warning.....
That's interesting because all Uber/Lyft drivers have the device stuck to the windshield holds your phone. Are they all subject to being pulled over/ticketed for it?
And of course you can't hold your phone while driving anymore so there is that too.
Reopening an ancient conviction to get a non-conviction dispensation is the only method other than a MA governor's pardon with explicit restoration of gun rights to take one off PP status.Interesting a 40 year old conviction....Just reopening it now?

I am presently waiting to hear back from MSP ballistics. If that comes back as favorable it will be a walk in the park. If not any expert to say .177 was never anything but an air gun will do also. I'm glad it wasn't a .22 pellet lol.Reopening an ancient conviction to get a non-conviction dispensation is the only method other than a MA governor's pardon with explicit restoration of gun rights to take one off PP status.
I wonder if the original convict had a laboratory report from the ballistics unit (Now days the MSP or Boston unit, not sure about back then) certifying that the items in question were a gun and ammunition.

Seeing his other posts it goes something like this most of the time:

Not too bad I swearGreat news and should be celebrated but i wonder how much this poor guy had to spend to vacate that ridiculous POS arrest and conviction.
