The following quote, "Since 1998, police chiefs have been emboldened to take a much more aggressive stance to deny applicants," said Krick. "Some police chiefs do use it properly. Probably more abuse it than use it properly." was _not_ said by me.  Attribution should go to David Rostcheck.  I believe that this is a true statement.  I _do_ believe that we have a serious problem in the State of Massachusetts regarding discretionary licensing.  Some police chefs _do_ discriminate with this law, and have been slapped down in court for failing to issue firearms licenses.  But, fortunately, I do not believe that this applies to the majority of Police Chiefs.

It is also worth noting that 98% of Massachusetts gun owners do _not_ support Chapter 180, despite the words of state Sen. Cheryl Jacques (D-Needham).  The question asked was, "Would you support a law that prevents firearm use by criminals, felons, and the mentally unstable?"
