Morin v. Leahy.
Yesterday we filed a suit challenging the state's prohibition on anyone convicted of any weapon or ammunition related offense that carries the possibility of incarceration.
In this case the plaintiff plead guilty to two misdemeanors counts punishable by no more than 180 days. He received a suspended sentence, probation and community service. Other than one minor mistake that put no one at risk, he has no criminal record. Like many other similarly situated individuals, he is not in any way dangerous and cannot in no way be considered a public safety risk. Yet, in Massachusetts, he is a prohibited person.
