Lexington man "charged with being a career criminal"

[Fixxah]

Even a spent .22 case is a felony for an unlicensed person. Kids who pick up an empty 30-06 blank case at a Flag Day parade... felons.

Crimped blank cases are not included.

Crimped blank cases are not included.

Are they not? As a reenactor there is consistently flack about this at events in MA.

Curious addition to this story: 9 months after the original raid, they went back and found more stuff? Really? http://lexington.wickedlocal.com/ne...er-more-items-in-connection-with-ivarson-case

"[Lexington PD Lt. Jim] Barry declined to not comment further"

Seems about right.

This probably why the NH dealer who transferred a whole bunch of guns to a NH resident (quite legally) and who I know very well, just received another four trace requests from ATF, making the total of requests to date around 20 now. Jack.

If you are going to be a MA gun owner, you had better know the laws.

He's the reason crime has been so high in Lexington.

You ain't lying-I live in Lexington, and the incidence of U-turning on Mass Ave has risen dramatically!!

They could only get him on 5 counts of possession? I'm thinking most of those were primitive back powder.

Also, the Nazi helmet still cracks me up. They better not raid my Dad's house, he's got at least three of those my great uncle brought back from Europe.

I was stationed up in Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for a little bit when my boat was in the yards, but had a home in CT. Id drive home every weekend with hundreds of spent shotshells in the back of my truck from shooting clays either in Maine or CT, and I'd clean up before I left and just tossed them in the bed of the truck. Every few weeks I'd sweep it out. When the weather was warmer I ALWAYS had a rifle case strapped to the back of my motorcycle commuting between Maine and CT, of course travelling through MA. Never had a problem. I know now that I could have had a problem, but that never happened. Silly all in all looking back at it.
