Too bad some of his 'opinions' are disagreed with by many, including loaded storage in a car. The problem is because he wrote this to teach police officers that it is now commonly believed as truth. I will agree that right now it is the only comprehensive resource that we have on the topic though.

What you claim are Ron's "opinions" are nothing of the kind . . . they are the "holdings" of the current administration's lawyers in EOPS and CHSB!! Like it or not, those are the "opinions" that DAs will get when they prosecute people. Do you really expect MA judges to ignore them since they are strictly opinions of a bunch of lawyers? My bet is NOT!
Please NOTE: I do not agree with all of Ron's "opinions" on MA gun law either. I also know that some of his "opinions" are totally opposite some opinions offered up some years ago. In at least one case I discussed it with Ron and learned where the "opinions" came from and why. Bottom line is that each administration WILL interpret MGLs on gun issues as it suits them!! So what you do today may be compliant and may be a felony a few years later! Great isn't it! .
Very interesting Len. Simply accepting the opinions of current lawyers of an administration as gospel is how we end up people falsely assuming something is written that way in law. It's one thing to mention that they are prosecuting as such, but as it is written it is not illegal.
He only believes in issuing with no restrictions so CLEOs don't burn any bridges and can keep their suitability clause. It's in our favor in one area and against in another.

You're obviously biased because he is a friend and I understand that. I wasn't aware that I couldn't put forth my opinion on anything though.
