I am aware of this dhuze. And you right he should know the law. I am just amazed at how some states (the 3 or 4 you mention) can be so far off in their veiws of what is right and wrong.ateamrob, carrying concealed is illegal in most states. There are ony 3 or 4 which allow it. He is a resident of Mass so he should know mass law.

and even if he is convicted, I am sure he will really care
I thought it was mandatory jail time for unlicensed gun possession. Would he care about that?
Are you serious?
IMHO, the hell's angels are an organized crime syndicate.

If he was denied on suitability previously, he has an instant defense. It won't work in MA, but further up the food chain it could payoff.
I don't follow your argument. What would his defense be, and why?
MARLBOROUGH —
Police said a Marlborough man identified in court records as a member of the Hells Angels was wearing an unlicensed, loaded .40-caliber handgun in a shoulder holster when an officer patted him down after a traffic stop Thursday night.

In MA, he'll lose, but he can appeal to the higher courts at the federal level. If he was denied on suitability alone (ie: he is not a federally prohibited person), then we might have a chance to show that the whole "suitability" issue is unconstitutional, and he might walk. Might.
I seriously doubt he could fight the suitability issue anyway, since he is a member of a known criminal organization. If he was just an average citizen who was denied because he happened to live in a red town, that would be one thing, but I think it would be HIGHLY unlikely that any member of the Angels would not have at least one felony conviction on their record. In fact, from my understanding it is a pre-requisite for belonging to that club.
Check out the number of crew cut "clean" newer members during a run. The club is trying to go "legit" somewhat as the trademarked name and the sales of merchandise actually net them millions throughout the country at this point.

Ummm......... maybe he is a prohibited person and it is a moot point......
Is being nervous probable cause?
I always consider all "outlaw" bikers armed when they are wearing their colors. This summer I saw Angels, Outlaws, Exiles, and Iron Horseman in Maine.
I've tried that argument before, but it doesn't hold much water if you stop and actually think about it. What is a "known criminal"? If he's a dangerous person unworthy of self defense, then why is he free to roam the general public? TomH will be along shortly to hand you your ass. As far as the club prerequisite, I would think that it's a crime that most gangs are looking for to determine membership, not a felony conviction. And as someone else has already pointed out, a lot of them are actually clean now. It's possible that the Hell's Angels are more of a brand name at this point than the are an actual "gang". If the guy in this case actually is a federally prohibited person, then that's the end of the story - he has no hope here. That's probably also the case if he was never arbitrarily denied (ie: never applied for an LTC).
Do you really believe that drivel that you posted? They are simply trying to look more "mainstream" so as to infiltrate more businesses/targets of opportunities and draw less attention to themselves when not on "runs".
