In MA, you leave your gun on a car seat and other gun owners will hang you out to dry. Some of you people are pathetic.
In the majority of other states this would not be an issue.
Was it stupid? Yes. Is it grounds for denying a basic right? No.
It's that simple.
Make no mistake what he did was completely stupid though. Not going to lie. Everyone makes mistakes but use your goddamn brain if your going to leave a gun in the open don't leave it loaded.
I fail at quoting
It is just like the guy that left his kid in the car to go into the store just for a minute,the kid took the fathers gun and blew his brains out. Now the father should not lose his gun rights because his son was stupid .

He will still have to answer forever more that he has had a license suspended or revoked on any of the various forms that ask that question... Move to a constitutional carry state or get a lawyer...To answer the OP. He should move or get an FID card.
Charges for improper storage weren't brought against him correct?
Simple fix - Move to NH
We're done here
I think that's the answer to everything. I'm debating moving to SW NH and commuting to my northern CT job once I get out of work.
Not so simple, remember that comment about "have you had a license suspended or revoked?"Simple fix - Move to NH

When I filled out the NH non-res it was on there. Is it on the NH res? Many states ask for their CCW license.
One of my friends lost his licence two years ago for leaving his firearm in his car in the open unsecured loaded and him not around . The police saw it in the car and suspended his licence. Since then he moved to a new green town in mass still . Is it possible for him to get it back and how hard would it be and would he need a lawyer or could he just apply in the new town he is in . And what would be the outcome be likley if he did apply.
It's not a matter of welcome or not as far as I am concerned. I am a firm believer in everyone's right to their opinion, even if it offends my sensibilities to the core. The problem is you are just wrong.I don't really know what all this out myself thing means. If it means I'm not going to be welcomed then it is what it is. I mean come on, I've had what, about 100 posts before this thread in the year and a half since I've signed up to NES so it's not like I'm a major contributor. If it weren't for the many awesome gun deals I've got from other members then I probably wouldn't have paid the subscription. I'll go back to the classifies now.![]()

I think that what the majority of the members here are trying to impress upon you, is that they feel it is wrong to take away a persons rights for a brief moment of forgetfulness. Yeah, did the guy have an "oh shit" moment? Yep, he sure did. Did he break the law? Sure. Did he deserve to loose his LTC? I don't think so.
True story that I read in my towns Police blotter in the local paper. An elderly mas calls 911 to report his handgun stolen. Police respond to take the report. His adult daughter shows up and tells the police that she found his firearm on the night stand and locked it up. The Cops make sure that the gentleman is aware of safe storage laws and the fella promises to be more careful.
And they all lived happily ever after. End of story
I don't think you are a sheep, and I bet that you care about our 2A rights as much as the next guy, but in general I think that most of the over the top BS in this state related to firearms could be handled without ruining a persons life, just because they can.
Don't take the beating you took personally and stick around. We are better as a group with you here. Admit that there maybe an opinion other than your own that has merit, and maybe that yours might be debatable. Brush it off, move on, and enjoy the forum
I have no problem with you or anyone else abiding by the law (in fact, it is a darn good idea, bad law or not), but you've done much more than that in this thread and I suspect at the ballot box as well... Whether tacitly or actively, you take the mentality you have posted here to the ballot box (or not, apathy is just as powerful as activism - only it is powerful for your opposition).To be honest I'm a little more upset that our state would give back a driver's license to a drunk driver than the op's friend's case. One can be an honest mistake and the other well, poor judgement. Yeah driving is a privilege and not a right but still the law is still the law (unattended gun) and I'll abide by it until it changes. If I'm wrong in your eyes, whatever. I'll still going to get my 8 hours tonight whatever anyone thinks of my beliefs.
