Gun Owner Points LC9 at Police

I have no Idea on that.
I mailed Four Seasons the other day and inquired about the LC9, I got this back. Sorry, these are no longer MA legal. Carl
Sucks cause I was looking at it for my first carry, think I'll start looking at the Shield now.

Update, just searched for the list.
http://www.mass.gov/eopss/docs/chsb/firearms/approvedfirearmsroster05-2013amended.pdf
Ruger LC9 is on page 12. This is the newest roster, released this month.
I seen that listed here the other day and was siked cause I want a LC9, so I mailed four seasons, I don't know what's going on, I figure if four seasons says it's not compliant they should know.

I have one with trigger job done and night sight, but I don't live in Taunton.
Wait, I have been taught all along on NES that if you draw, you fire. In this case, no fire from any weapons drawn. I kinda prefer the Taunton way.
This comes under the AG's consumer protection law. Ruger says the LC9 is not MA compliant on their Web site, so Four Seasons won't take the chance of violating that law and being fined and losing their FFL. Other FFLs might not have the same view, so they continue to sell them.
Nope, not Martha. It was actually Scott Harshberger and (I believe then Gov. Mitt Romney who signed) who produced that law.

I meant YOU
Well......I do show up at my door armed at night but have the brains to look to see who it is out the window first and holster the fire arm if I recognize them. If you have no way to view who is at your door before upening it may I sugges installing a darn peep hole.....it jsut makes sense. My point is this idiot should have holstered the damn gun the second he saw there were cops at the door.......he is VERY lucky the officers had some restraint........I would not blame them if they did shoot him!
You are quite welcome.
Didn't the article quote the LEO as saying it was. A two-tone or shiny slide and black frame or something? Unless Ruger has made a new version or it was a distributor special, that doesn't sound like an LC9.
Not necessarily. Ruger may have made a change to the gun that requires that it be retested/recertified for the roster... (or at least that's what their lawyers at ruger think). Since the gun is a flaming POS, Ruger making major changes to the design wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
Generally speaking most MA FFLs also stop selling something when their distributors run around yelling "its not compliant its not compliant" etc... regardless of whether or not it would pass muster.

My feelings as well.
I'm sure you're correct. My statement is based on my experience when I was in Four Seasons and asked if they had any LC9s. The person said "No, they're not MA compliant." When I questioned that, he called up the Web site and said "See, this says they're not MA compliant." From what I understand, the AG doesn't have a list. They depend on the manufacturer and dealers to not sell any in MA that aren't MA compliant if the manufacturer can't show some sort of proof that they are. Sort of self regulating. Whatever Ruger is doing to them, Ruger has designated them not compliant, not MA.
Yeah, but you specifically mentioned the consumer protection bs (AG regs, AKA CMR940) which, at least in this case, likely has nothing to do with why the gun isn't compliant. There is no test for CMR940, there is a testing regimen for EOPS. AG Reg (CMR940) compliance consists of the vendor claiming "we think we're CMR940 compliant" and then the AG bitching about it... or not. I haven't heard anything about the AG bitching about the MKIII or the LC9... this is strictly ruger's "thing".

"held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing"
Why do I *NEVER* read this when it comes to gangbangers shooting each other in springfield.. Never, not even once. The only time I ever read that sentence is when someone with a ltc does something stupid.
