New Hampshire Resident With Carry Permit Wins Court Case In Massachusetts Over Carry Across State Lines

[Blacksmith101]

Big win in Massachusetts court over a New Hampshire resident with a New Hampshire carry permit carrying in Massachusetts. Massachusetts law found unconstitutional under Bruen.

Great news, this battle was one but the war still continues.

Great to see this result, but a shame it went to court in the first place.

It was in fact one battle that was won. Many more to go...

So did the court force Massachusetts to accept the New Hampshire permit?

Could this lead to national reciprocity, as with driver's licences, in another 10 or 20 years?

Are we on the cusp of national reciprocity?

The court issued a Memorandum of Decision on the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss so he dismissed the charges against the New Hampshire resident with a New Hampshire carry permit who was charged with carrying in Massachusetts without a permit finding that the Massachusetts law was unconstitutional under Bruen.

Wait. What is that sound I hear?

Sounds like corks popping out of champagne bottles. Y’all hear that, also?

Oh, sheeeeeet, that’s the sound of Leftist Liberals’ heads Exploding!

(Those extra loud ones were $oro$’ and Obummer’s!)

Hip Hip Hurrah ...

If a trial judge tosses the charges because the law is unconstitutional, can the state appeal the decision and possibly re-instate charges if higher court overturns trial judge?

I suppose it depends if jeopardy were attached?

I know if he's found "not guilty", the state has no further recourse.

I’d love to see this happen in DC.

I presume this only impacts Mass, right? It’s lovely to see, but won’t change anything here, per se. MA would have to appeal this up through a coupe layers of higher courts - over years - before it would have broader impact.

In the meantime, MA will do an MDGA and try to thread the needle (or lazily, spitefully not) and trot out a fresh law that will take time and dollars to slap back down. Look at the case here in MoCo … tick tock, rights on fire as usual.

Great outcome for the plaintiff and folks up there (temporarily, anyway), but the try-again-run-out-the-clock game is just getting started, just like it is here.

I’ll have to read this closer for precedence.

I live in NW PA, 2.5 miles from the NY state line. All my brothers and other family live on NY. They all have NY CCW and PA non-res CCW, but there is no way for me to get a NY CCW. Too many times I cross the state line without thinking that I am packing.

It would be so nice to break down that barrier.

Sounds like it only effects this one single defendent in Massachusetts.

It could be used to support a future argument in favor of interstate carry rights, but not much else.

The Camel just stuck his nose under the tent flap. But a lower court properly, IMHO, applied Bruen in a case that has significance to gun owners all over the country.

One-derful!!

Hopefully good news to come..

Interesting... actually applying a Supreme Court decision correctly
