Another question, I know when you get your LTC the chief can have his designee handle the entire process (in my case the town had two dedicated firearms licensing officers other than the chief) when you file these suits, does the Chief have to appear or can he send the designee in his place? Obviously a couple suits wouldn't matter as the officers get OT for going to court, but I can imagine someone like Gemme getting 10 court dates a week would change his position real quick if he couldn't do his regular job because he spent every day in court.
Out-f***ing-standing! I'm no longer a MA resident, but I'll be donating for this cause. SEND IT!!!!
This is very long and expensive war and we will win some and lose some, but in the end will prevail. Thanks to all of you with the continued support.
As for the chiefs, we never see them. Lawyers do it all on both sides.
Figures, they cant even come out and fight their own battles. Makes me sick. The screw us over year over year and then at the day of reckoning they dont even show up. What a suprise.
So is the plan for a few from each town or just looking for a large amount of people? Curious if the goal is to change the law or change the town.
All the available evidence tells us that Worcester is issuing unrestricted licenses. It will probably take years for the NES zeitgeist to catchup however.Another question, I know when you get your LTC the chief can have his designee handle the entire process (in my case the town had two dedicated firearms licensing officers other than the chief) when you file these suits, does the Chief have to appear or can he send the designee in his place?

That's what lawyers are for. The issue in these cases are matters of law. What does the law mean? The chief doesn't argue that in court anymore than a plaintiff like Fletcher does. And with good reason.Figures, they cant even come out and fight their own battles. Makes me sick. They screw us over year after year and then at the day of reckoning they dont even show up.

There was a recent thread about a licensing officer who made some outrageous statements about LTC restrictions to students in a college classroom. She said that if she ever did a motor vehicle stop on someone she knew had an unrestricted LTC, her gun would be in your face before even asking you anything.
Could information like this be used against a licensing officer and/or a police chief in your suit?
Here's the thread detailing all of the other things she said: LTC-officer-in-Lowell
Either way, I thought you'd be interested in this as it illustrates just how broken the system is and shows the arrogant attitudes these issuing authorities in red towns have.

And with most towns on the brink of financial ruins, I could see the majority of the small town COP being told to cave in by the Town Manger or Board of Selectmen and just issue "Restrictions: None." Lawsuit after lawsuit will cost a town a significant amount of money in legal fees that they just don't have to waste in the long run.
