Felony Gun Charges Against Health Care Sales Representative Dismissed

This past St. Patrick’s Day, our client was in Massachusetts visiting his girlfriend. He was carrying a firearm. He was licensed to do so in Connecticut and did not realize that he needed an LTC to carry in Massachusetts. While in the girlfriend’s apartment a “friend” saw the gun and asked to hold it. Our client refused to permit the man to do so. An argument followed and the man left the apartment. Several minutes later the police arrived. Apparently, the man who was slighted by our client called to report the presence of a firearm. The police inquired about the gun. Our client cooperated with the police and showed them the gun. When they learned that he did not have an LTC he was arrested and charged with violation of G.L. c. 269 section 10(a), a felony in Massachusetts mandating 18 months in jail. Attorney Neyman was immediately hired. Today, we convinced the district attorney’s office to dismiss the charges.
