Assuming (a) the kid has no record, and (b) he is properly licensed in CT, they will probably amend down to 10(h), with no mandatory jail time.
Yeah. He failed in epic fashion at STFU and "don't talk to the police". Still, he doesn't deserve what he is getting.Food for thought... if junior had lawyered up with a decent firearms attorney before even reporting the car stolen, half of this stuff may have been cut off at the pass. He ratted himself out, effectively. Absent his admissions, they would have had to prove that he transported the gun into MA, etc. Everyone thinks that by telling the kopsch and "being honest" all the time is going to win them points with the authorities, but once you're at that level, that turns out to rarely be the case....

Since this topic has been beat to death, I'll wisecrack that my car is theft proof. It'd be the LAST vehicle on any self respecting thief's punch list.
That would probably make it "use without authority" rather than theft.My neighbor had an old Honda that had over 200k on it and it was stolen one night and whoever stole it brought it back and left it running in the street in front of the house.

WTF is that, a LeCar?
Looks like an old Ford Festiva.WTF is that, a LeCar?
So we should be on the lookout for a beaterOpsec made it imprudent to post a pic of my actual car. However, other than year, make, model and body style it's a fair representation.

That was my first car.

whose bondo/primer combination
is a subtle homage to the flag of Spain.
Got it.

The crazy thing is that he would have been better off illegally carrying
Closer to the flag of Brazil, actually.
With or without wax?
Back in the 80s I saw someone mistake this for a Gremlin a short distance away (about 20-30 yards), it's not a mistake you make twice.

UPDATE: After months of living on pins and needles, multiple appearances where various charges were dropped to a single charge: possession without a license. Even with that, the prosecution kept asking for one continuance after another. Frustrated by the prosecution failing to make their case, the judge dismissed the final charge and junior is a free man, go forth and sin no more in Massachusetts.
I haven't heard what the final legal cost will be, but I know junior's lawyer was paid a $10k retainer initially.
I'm guessing at minimum he won't be getting his gun back.
