Comm2A Files Suit Over Denial Of License To Carry Posted: 13 Mar 2013 07:02 PM PDT Commonwealth Second Amendment filed suit earlier this month in US District Court for the District of Massachusetts. They are challenging the lifetime ban by Massachusetts on the issuance of a license to carry for even minor drug offenses. Named as defendants are the towns and police chiefs of Salisbury and Natick. The individual plaintiffs, Michael Wesson of Salisbury and Thomas Woods of Natick, each had a misdemeanor conviction for possession of less than one ounce of marijuana in other states over 30 years ago. They are both well into middle age. Massachusetts law treats simple possession of an amount of marijuana this size a civil offense and not something which can be used to deny someone a LTC. From Comm2A's release: Comm2A, the organization dedicated to preserving rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment, has filed suit in federal court against Police Chiefs in Salisbury and Natick for denying plaintiffs the right to possess a firearm for self defense. Massachusetts law currently imposes a lifetime ban on the issuance of a license to carry to anyone convicted of even minor drug related offenses. "Practically speaking, what this means is that someone who plead guilty to possession of less than an ounce of marijuana when they were a teenager, paid a fine and served no jail time, isn't eligible for an LTC, even if they’ve led an exemplary, law-abiding life for the past thirty or forty years. " said Brent Carlton, President of Comm2A. "This represents an utterly unreasonable denial of a fundamental right and in no way can be justified by the legitimate need to keep firearms out of the hands of irresponsible or dangerous individuals." Both plaintiffs have a single misdemeanor conviction for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana and have faced no other charges in the past 30-40 years. One plaintiff was convicted in 1982 and fined $10.00. The other plaintiff was convicted in 1973 and fined $300.00. Neither plaintiff was represented by an attorney at the time of their conviction. Possession of less than an ounce of marijuana is currently a civil offense in Massachusetts punishable by a $100 fine and by law cannot be used to deny someone a License to Carry. Comm2A and the individual plaintiffs are represented by Attorney Jeff Scrimo. The complaint, Wesson et al v. Town of Salisbury et al, seeks injunctive relief for the plaintiffs and a declaratory judgement stating that both the Massachusetts law and the denial of the plaintiffs' LTC constitutes a violation of their 2nd and 14th Amendment rights.

To make things even better, Tom is making his 259-page book available for FREE on Amazon Kindle through March 14th.

Tom's press release about The Insanely Practical Guide to Gun Holsters is below and will give more information on the book. Americans are flocking to buy guns like never before. The political climate, a "foaming at the mouth" media and the desire to win the neighborhood arms race are creating millions of first-time gun owners. But how do folks learn about guns, holsters and concealed carry in an amusing and approachable way? Enter the team of My Gun Culture. They specialize in making sense of all that complicated shooting stuff with a large side helping of humor. Their new book, The Insanely Practical Guide to Gun Holsters is now available on Amazon.com. From Chapter 5: 10 Ways to Spot Someone Carrying a Concealed Gun “If you see someone cruising around with a steady or intermittent glow emanating from their pocket area, it means one of two things. Either they have a really, really serious urinary tract infection, or their holster is causing the pistol laser to activate.” The Insanely Practical Guide to Gun Holsters educates on a myriad of ways to safely carry a gun. Whether packing heat on your belt or in your underwear, this book will teach new shooters about the dizzying array of gun holsters on the market. In addition to discussing numerous methods of carry in detail, The Insanely practical Guide to Gun Holsters profiles over 120 specific holster models. Dozens of photographs and Insanely Practical Tips help readers learn how to carry a gun safely and invisibly. Readers will learn important concepts including:      A brief and entertaining history of gun holsters.          How to weigh concealment versus gun accessibility.          What’s better? Open or concealed carry? How to start a really enthusiastic argument.          What options are available for ladies only?          Is belt carry the best overall option? If so, how? Inside or outside?          How to carry a gun using undershirts, belly bands and harnesses.          How to use an ankle holster without making your ankles look fat.          Pocket holsters.

Let’s face it. Holsters are a tough thing to buy — especially for someone new to the world of guns. Stores rarely have a big selection, everyone has a different opinion, and it’s hard to try them on with your specific gun. Holsters are expensive, and most experienced shooters have a whole box of unused, and very expensive, holsters. This book will dramatically improve the odds of making the right buy the first time. It’s also filled with helpful tips, like how to make sure your gun stays secure. From Chapter 8: A Word on Gun Belts “Wearing your jeans with the waist band around your knees is in vogue these days. While stylish and trendy, this doesn’t work so well for concealed carry with waist holsters. It’s bad enough having your wallet swinging around at knee level. Having a gun swinging around that low would certainly make you the center of attention. Unless of course, you live in Mogadishu.” The Insanely Practical Guide to Gun Holsters is free for three days only! Download The Insanely Practical Guide to Gun Holsters from Amazon.com at no charge Tuesday, March 12, 2013 through Thursday, March 14, 2013. ### About Insanely Practical Guides Insanely Practical Guides author Tom McHale was born a helpless, shooting-deprived infant.
