You are kidding me with this ridiculous ode to Boston right? I went through that system twice. Please stop acting like Boston is reasonable because it's not.
1. They treat you like scum at the desk at Boston PD headquarters. You are presumed to be a criminal by them and that's how you are treated.
2. They require a birth certificate, letter from a gun club, utility bill, driver's license, range test at Moon Island (with THEIR gun not yours), etc.
3. They do not process renewals automatically even if ALL of your information is exactly the same. They make you file ALL the paperwork all over again right from the beginning.
Menino and his administration are corrupt to the core and they have only succeeded in driving out many creative, productive individuals while keeping the parasites firmly on the city payroll.
Boston is a shithole of a city and I would not recommend anybody move there. If you must go there then commute and live someplace else but it's best to avoid that city altogether. I make it a point to never spend a dime if I do have to go there.
I'm glad I got the hell out of there. It was one of the best things I ever did and I encourage anybody else who values liberty that's currently living in that city to get out. It long ago ceased to be a good place for intelligent, decent people.
And I'm curious if the shot to the hip was a mistake or careful aim. Maybe he was trying to hit a more manly area and the perp turned.
Well said, Donna. Had I known a few years ago, what I know now about licensing in Boston, I would have slipped a politician a grand to stuff in their underwear.
That would have saved me at least $6,000.
Like you, I am in the city. I am fighting against the bureaucracy for what is rightfully mine to have. The battle is long and costly.
Best regards.
Thanks Riverside - I wonder how many here know of the one person battle you are waging against the city for their idiotic 'no concealed carry' addendum to licenses. But once again, the criminals are exempt from that restriction. Maybe with more support - your battle wouldn't be so long and costly. And maybe we'd win. It does happen. Stand up and fight - power in numbers, make them take notice, and so on and so on. If not - the next restriction may be 'to be used only between the hours of 1pm and 2pm'. Or something equally outrageous.
BTW - I think $500 might have worked.

Any further discussion on Boston Licensing really belongs in the Gun Laws section even though it is connected to your original post. The LTC-A person who shot the out of control bad guy on a killing spree probably wants to remain anonymous. How often have you heard stories about someone seeking the limelight or their 15 minutes of fame, got it and then went down in "proverbial flames" a short time later? The LTC-A person who got involved has probably had to consult with a lawyer just in case the Boston Licensing Official wants to chat. I'm sure the regular investigative unit have already questioned the good citizen. In addition, I wouldn't rule out a lawsuit by the bad guy who was shot in the hip. The bad guy has got nothing to lose by trying.
Best regards.

Wow has this post digressed from it's original intent....
Yes, this thread has digressed. And it only underscores the need for something like a new NES Social Group just for Boston NES'rs.
What do you say kimmie191 & Riverside, you game?

I find it very curious that this is buried in this article. Why isn't this man being touted as a hero for perhaps having stopped more deaths/injuries from happening? If he was doing something wrong, I think it would be on the front page under 'gun play causes death of 19 year old mother' or something along those lines.
Thoughts??????
The reason that there was no release of his name is because he was not charged with a crime.
Half Cocked - I totally understand and agree with that. If I were a witness to a crime, I wouldn't want my name plastered all over the paper either. But the point is the fact that a legally armed citizen, who helped prevent possibly more death and injury, was downplayed and buried. This is a pro gun story. We didn't need his name. People are not named in all kinds of incidents for a variety of reasons, but if the media deems it a news worthy story, it gets coverage. We are inundated, day after day, with story after story of shootings by those illegally posessing firearms. Why no story about when it's done legally and resulted in lives saved?
