Mumbles Doesn't Do Windows
You know the city's going to end up telling this guy to go pound sand, while trying to maintain the ever-present facade of sympathy, compassion, and understanding. Regardless, it's still an interesting item.
Gee, that wouldn't open the proverbial floodgates now, would it?
What I'd like to see, along these lines, is for every eligible resident of Boston to apply for an unrestricted Class "A" License to Carry a Firearm specifically listing "personal protection" as the "reason for issuance".
And when the application is denied by the licensing authority, a letter shall be forwarded to the mayor's office stating that the city will be held financially liable for any and all injuries or losses of property sustained outside the home, which could have been prevented by the safe, legal, and responsible use of a firearm. The letter should emphasize that any such cash settlements resulting thereof would, by comparison, make the Snelgrove deal ($5.1 million) seem like a down payment.
Now that would really fry his nose.

A 73-year-old Hyde Park man who was forced to dive from his armchair onto the floor to avoid shots fired into his home by gangbangers has asked Mayor Thomas M. Menino to cough up the cash to replace the bullet-shattered glass.
In a letter accompanied by a bill for $208, Anthony Finamore, 73, asked the mayor to have the city repair the living-room window of Finamore's Manion Street home. That was last week, nearly two months after the glass was blown out by bullets.
