that, right there, is the true danger in following Unka Joe Biden's advice!Youbad. That was four days later. (Maybe the guy got a slug into low earth orbit?)
First off SWAT? Come on is that really necessary? SWAT should be the weapon of last resort when everything else fails. They couldn't send over a couple of cop cars, we have to jump straight to military style intervention? This is why I agree that we need some serious police reform in this country.
Secondly, why should the 1st guy lose anything because he has a bozo for a friend? Man I swear the people in MA are so willing to be kowtowed that every other person is a freaking Karen.
To help justify their existence they mobilize to situations that they don't need to exist at.
Does he get a refund if he's a life member?Looks like some ones LTC, and guns are going to go bye,bye.
I wonder if he will stay a NES member?

I have no ill intent, I do respect their jobs. But if they keep going along with stunts like this, isn't our duty to make it no longer LARPing... I mean I think about this often. If the world went full tin foil and you had HRT show up at your door and you are reasonably confident you have done nothing wrong, what would you do? I know I would probably get smoked, but I'd get smoked trying to defend my home. Why just fold up, why let them LARP?And they want to LARP with their cool gear. I respect their jobs and the inherent risks. But when they go out for things like this, they’d LARPing, plain and simple.
I believe the common guidance is "comply now, grieve later"
That is (provided you still believe that our government of laws is legitimate/intact) if you know you've done nothing wrong, go easy now and come back with lawyers.
If you still believe our government is legitimate, use the government to stop the LARPing. Go vote. Talk to your neighbors, convince them to vote. Got to town meetings. Get things changed.
If you no longer believe the government is legitimate, then you probably don't want to discuss your plans on public forums that are followed by agents of that government.
On the whole I agree. Of course, I also believe that if you can defuse the situation without the use of force, that's a win. Sun Tzu: "it is best to win without fighting." If they show up with flash bangs and no-knock their way into your house at 02:00, that's different. If they're still knocking on the door, or even talking on a megaphone, you can still get out without violence.Fair, but I don't advocate for a coup or some dark shadowy initiative. I advocate for defending my property from armed intruders. I guess I don't see that as a highly controversial position. Don't try and intrude and I won't need to defend?
But but but. That's what the soon to be president told us to do!!?!Never fire 'Warning Shots'...
Fine. Warning shots to the face...But but but. That's what the soon to be president told us to do!!?!

Other than a noise ordinance violation, what is the MGL regarding firing off a thundermug assuming no projectile?
Or at least that's their story and they're sticking to it.It sounds like the only things the guy is guilty of are not locking his guns and having shitty friends. I feel for him.
All because he didn’t lock his guns? If he doesn’t have children in the house, then there is nothing immoral about not locking ones guns. Illegal? Yeah according to MA, but not immoral. And yet you want to have him ruined. Why aren’t you focusing on the guy who actually stole the firearm and fired it?
How do you know there weren't any kids at the party? If any random person in your house can grab a loaded shotgun and start blasting away without you knowing about it, then you're totally negligent and should lose your license.

If you actually knew the backstory you wouldn’t make such a dumb statementSpoken like a true Elmer FUDD. the guy had shitty friends.
You are the one in control of your firearm. Just like you wouldn’t hand it to a felon friend you wouldn’t hand it to a dope of a friend and if you do, well bad on you and you will pay for that. If indeed it was “available” for anyone to grab, again the storage laws are clear in Mass despite them being somewhat ridiculousFirst off SWAT? Come on is that really necessary?

(For the record, I will concede in advance thatSince it says "in or on", which I interpret as the back yard is OK.
I agree with you 100%.So, you've in Mass. your whole life?
The problem with his behavior – and by that I mean the *actual* problem, not the legal one – is that he let a dumb-ass friend access to his guns. Not that they weren't "stored properly"

No the problem with his behavior is he was irresponsible with controlling access to his guns. He didn't LET his dumb-ass friend access it, he accessed it because it wasn't stored responsibly or properly. If he had handed it to him, then your point is correct but that wasn't the case.
