Car was clearly brandishing and threatening passerbyers. Straight to jail. Owner and car both.Was the car locked? In that case should be a non issue, though of course "Massachusetts".

That’s something of a mess. It’s mostly by what it was designed around. So a Glock 19 is large but Glock 43x is non-large. However if you have a shield 15 round magazine in the 43x, the state would probably argue that it is large.
Please note that I am trying to explain the laws as I understand them, but that does not mean that I agree with them (I don’t, these laws are ridiculous).
I don’t think it necessarily was designed to be incomprehensible. The think it says more about the incompetence of the idiots who wrote it — former Senator Cheryl Jacques and her arrogant, fat slob aide Angus McQuilken.I have no idea how anyone keeps any of this straight. And it is clear to me that it is by design to be like that.
Going back at least 10 years I have always had an armored car messenger leave a firearm behind in the bathroom while dropping a deuce at a store at least once a year.It happens. Cops do it sometimes too.
You didn't get to the really fun part...Looks like gun on school property is not a felony.
MGL CH 269 Section 10:
But the storage violation is a felony if it was a large capacity handgun. MGL Chapter 140 Section 131L
That’s what I get for trying to read the law. Thanks for the correction. Mandatory four years for a non-violent offense.So if it's a handgun, irrespective of capacity, where kids might have access then it's a mandatory four years in prison.
Cops get free passes, this numbskull won’t.It happens. Cops do it sometimes too.
I read the article, just a bit of humor. However, I feel bad for this person. To many distractions, maybe running late, etc. during the course of a day and this one will cost him or her.... unfortunately.Lexington town officials say police received a call shortly after 9:00 a.m. Wednesday morning after staff member spotted an unattended handgun inside a parked car at Estabrook Elementary School. Officials say the holstered handgun was in plain view and left on the passenger seat of the vehicle.

Here’s where it turns out to be the school safety officer.
The state would argue that as it was accessible and therefore in his immediate control, he was de facto carrying it.I disagree. If it had been in a locked case, then he could argue that he wasn’t carrying it. But I think the state can argue that he wasn’t driving with the gun on the seat.
The police department is ok. The Kens & Karens that live here, on the other hand, are stereotypical self-righteous libtards.Of all the towns in massachusetts. Top 10 towns that hate guns
Zero chance he gets 4 years. We have a mandatory min 1 year for unlawful possession here too. Ask any cop how often it gets tossed.That’s what I get for trying to read the law. Thanks for the correction. Mandatory four years for a non-violent offense.
First of all it's 18 mos. Second people get it all the time in MA. But I agree this guy won't get time bc he's going to kept at the lowest level of improper storage. In fact I think he was summonsed until court for s clerk's hearing and not arrested.Zero chance he gets 4 years. We have a mandatory min 1 year for unlawful possession here too.

And the odds of him having his ltc cancelled for “being unsuitable”?First of all it's 18 mos. Second people get it all the time in MA.

You know what they say- Lexington, where freedom was born and died.In 2020 Lexington voted 82% for Joe Biden.
2024 Lexington was one of the Towns that actively recruited Leftists to pull a Republican Ballot and vote for Haley. Haley won Lexington over Trump 2/1.
I was at a NEMLAC public event in front of the Lexington police station a few years ago, and one of the cops left his gun and duty rig on the passenger seat while he was wandering around. Should I have taken it and confiscated his LTC?
The school employee screwed up, no question, but I wouldn't take away the gun and LTC. Just give him a warning, for God's sake. When violent felons are being treated with kid gloves, how can the gov't justify taking away a person's basic right so easily due to a dumb mistake with no malicious intent? What happened to mens rea? How can it be considered a crime when there was no intent? I understand negligence, but what harm was done?
I don’t think the school employee should face any repercussions at all, if you’re asking me. I don’t think it’s a big deal.
