The Joys of Discretionary Licensing (cont.)

Thanks to our "common-sense" gun control laws, these goons get to carry firearms with the blessings of the City of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

A trio of armed security guards have been hit with felony assault charges after they allegedly burst into the Dorchester home of a Police Athletic League youth worker, pulled a gun on him and beat him in front of his terrified family, the Herald has learned.

The guards, employed by Alliance Detective Security Service, are expected to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court on charges that they assaulted 33-year-old Tariff Aziz Sept. 29 in the family’s home at 9 Hutchings St.


Remember, folks, guns in this town are for "professionals" only.

Thank you, Senator Barrios.

UPDATE (11/5): No soup for you!

Three armed security guards accused of felony assault in connection with the alleged gunpoint beating of a Dorchester man in his home have had their gun licenses pulled and are no longer special police officers, Boston Police Department officials said.


Disarming violent thugs - what a novel idea.

Though, I remain quite curious as to the level of scrutiny their License to Carry applications actually received. And, I wonder if they too had to wait more than three months to be licensed.
