Hi all,
I've been thinking about this for a while now and don't have an answer.
Heller guarantees anyone who is not a prohibited person (PP) shall have the right to possess a handgun in their home.
In MA a LTC is required to possess a handgun.
The issuance of a LTC is subject to suitability standards applied by the licensing official.
So what happens if you are denied a LTC based on suitability but are not a PP??
Have the Mass courts addressed this?? Is there any case law??
I'm curious to know how the state is finessing this, considering that as the law now stands, the LTC suitability allowance is unconstitutional.
I'm looking for some legal analysis. PLEASE do not just write "Because its mass and mass sucks". Or , "god I'm glad I escaped".
Thanks,
Don
p.s. Rob Boudrie, Len, Groundscraper - I'm hoping you guys respond.
