Is there an offense "Leaving ammunition unattended?"

[Spartan65]

This is actually a cautionary tale to gun owners in mass.... you can basically s*** your pants worrying about preban legality BS all the time.... but still, basically if they really want to grind your ass they will just make fake s*** up on the fly.... cucking out is almost pointless exercise at this juncture.

Where do we even go? NH is quickly headed down the shitter.

Is there really an offense called "leaving ammunition unattended"?

Sort of -- Chapter 269, Section 10(h)(2)

(2) Any person who leaves a firearm, rifle, shotgun or ammunition unattended with the intent to transfer possession of such firearm, rifle, shotgun or ammunition to any person not licensed under section 129C of chapter 140 or section 131 of chapter 140 for the purpose of committing a crime or concealing a crime shall be punished by imprisonment in a house of correction for not more than 2 1/2 years or in state prison for not more than 5 years.

What if any evidence of intent exists I can't say, but it's SOP to book someone on every charge the cops think has any chance of sticking.

"When police and the FBI raided Calabrese’s home, they found four guns, including a sawed-off shotgun, several boxes of ammunition and silencers. Calabrese did not have a license to carry or possess an FID card, authorities said.

Police charged Calabrese with possession of a firearm without an FID card; five counts of possession of ammunition without an FID card; five counts of leaving ammunition unattended; three counts of possession of a large-capacity firearm; three counts of illegal storage of a large capacity firearm; three counts of improper storage of a firearm; possession of a sawed-off shotgun; two counts of possession of a silencer; and 15 counts of possession of a large-capacity feeding device."

Overview
On June 26, 2008, in District of Columbia v. Heller (PDF), the United States Supreme Court issued its first decision since 1939 interpreting the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Court ruled that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution confers an individual right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes such as self-defense. It also ruled that two District of Columbia provisions, one that banned handguns and one that required lawful firearms in the home to be disassembled or trigger-locked, violate this right.

accused him of threatening numerous public figures and politicians and threatening to bomb a major media outlet.

Pretty sure the highlighted passage is the reason for his problems. If he made threats, then the means of those threats are going to be on the search warrant. I guess I give him props for sounding legitimate enough to actually have someone come look at him. I'm pretty sure basic threats are a dime a dozen and never get investigated.

You need an FID card to have firearms in your home? If it's proven he actually made threats and brought this on himself well then that's another matter.

You need an FID card to have firearms in your home?

Yes, and any ammo components (including spent brass).

According to SCotUS's interpretation of the 2A in D.C. V. Heller, not for simple possession in one's home, but MA ignores that.

Lol. No matter where you go all you can do is try to stay off the radar.

If the suspect was not allowed to possess ammo, wouldn't he be _required_ to leave ammo unattended? If a MA resident does not have an LTC, how can he be required to _attend_ ammo he is legally barred from possessing?
