I wonder if Martha Coakley locks up her gun???
Well, I'm only a few pages into it, but I now have hard copy proof that the AG doesn't fully grasp the differences between a LTC and a FID, and the different requirements for each.
As the “chief law officer of the Commonwealth,” the Attorney General is charged with setting a “unified and consistent legal policy for the Commonwealth.”
Wow, the very first sentence is total bull shit. I didn't know lawyers used “” like comedians.
But one state prosecutor familiar with Heller says the D.C. statute and 131L are distinguishable.
The prosecutor, who asks not to be identified, says that, unlike the provision analyzed in Heller, the Massachusetts law does not place any storage requirements on the owners of licensed firearms when they are home.
"But when the owner of the firearm or an authorized user of the firearm is not present in the house, then our statute says you have to lock it up and pocket the key," the prosecutor says. "That complies precisely with Heller's interpretation of the Second Amendment that the firearm be available for the purpose of immediate self-defense. If you're not home, and the gun is in your house, guess what it's not available for? Immediate self-defense."
Scary freakin' stuff to read how our filthy corrupt leftist politicians think. God how I wish I lived in a sane, two-party state.The AG's Amicus brief has been posted:
