Check out the comments from Lt. Michael Conti of the Massachusetts State Police. He's proud that they "got the weapons off the street." Love his hat, too.

Connecticut man ordered held on $10,000
By Linda Bock TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
lbock@telegram.com
BOLTON — A judge set bail at $10,000 today for the Connecticut man whose pulled-over pickup was allegedly filled with an assault rifle, a shotgun, a bullet-proof vest, ammunition, brass knuckles and knives.
At his arraignment in Clinton District Court, Luke S. Huizinga, 18, of Danbury, Conn., pleaded not guilty to a litany of firearms charges. His lawyer told the court that Mr. Huizinga is an ardent target shooter.
Mr. Huizinga was arrested by state police about 12:20 this morning after state police saw the vehicle swerving in and out of lanes on Interstate 495 north in Bolton.
He told Trooper Shaun Bellao he was headed to a wedding in Maine.
According to police, the driver appeared evasive and a gun case was spotted in the cab of the truck.
Trooper Bellao told the driver to get out of the truck, and he patted him down, police said.
Mr. Huizinga's lawyer, Michael Ball, told Judge Martha Brennan that Mr. Huizinga thought he was doing the right thing by keeping his guns and ammunition separate.
According to state police, troopers searched the truck and found: a 16-inch Bushmaster assault rifle, a Remington 12-gauge shotgun with a pistol grip, seven 30-round magazine ammunition clips and several boxes of ammunition.
The assault rifle and the shotgun had both been modified, and each gun was equipped with laser sightings, police said.
Mr. Huizinga was charged with: marked lanes violation, possession of a large capacity firearm (rifle), possession of a firearm (shotgun), seven counts of possession of high capacity feeding devices (seven 30-clips), possession of a dangerous weapon (brass knuckles) and unlawful possession of ammunition.
Mr. Huizinga may face federal charges, including transporting guns across state lanes and not having a license to carry firearms.
Mr. Huizinga told authorities he bought the guns on his 18th birthday in September at a gun store in Connecticut, according to state police.
Mr Huizinga is a plumber's apprentice for his father's business.
Trooper Bellao found six knives and brass knuckles on Mr. Huizinga, police said.
Mr. Huizinga has no previous criminal record, according to authorities.

Holy crap!
Massachusetts should be ejected from the United States if they think this way.

Some screenshots from the video.
When the Lt. picks up the magazine - or as he calls it, a "large capacity feeding device" - he acts as if he's picking up a dirty diaper.

Assuming that he was legally able to possess the firearms in Connecticut, and he was also legally able to possess the firearms in Maine, and of course depending on if they were locked up or not, he should be covered under the following:
U.S. CODE Title 18, Part 1, Chap 44
§ 926A. Interstate transportation of firearms.
Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, that in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.

FOPA applies in this situation if I'm reading it right. Who's representing him? Any Mass locals who can find out and get a hold of his lawyer or Public Defender and get them up to speed on FOPA?

The pictures clearly show the AR 15 and the shot gun are locked.
"The guns are modified" Wow This poor kid, Why would he lie about going to a wedding. A wedding is very easy to check out. When he got to the wedding he just wanted to target shot and show and tell on his gear!! big deal!! I hope our good man Lonnie Wilson will help. Am sure Lonnie is pretty upset right now.

The MA State police are Mass Holes.
What we have here is a freedom hating tyrannical state that does not respect the constitution.
Good on the kid for clearly pleading not guilty.
IANAL but I hope that the container that the rifle and shot gun were in was locked, otherwise FOPA may not save him.

Even if they weren't locked, it was legal under MA law, since there's no mention of locked in the MA law for a person travelling through with firearms, just that they're unloaded and enclosed in a case...
I hate MA and boycott the state, personally.

As pictured those firearms were locked for storage or transport as required by Mass. Law. Ma. General Laws Chapter 140. The pump gun did not have to be locked per MGL.Last edited on Tue Mar 10th, 2009 04:51 pm by Rattrapper

Of course. Only dangerous people possess such things.

Yes Massachusetts is in America but it has a high crime rate so the gun laws are very strict

M.G.L Part I, Title XX, Chapter 140, section 131f "A Class A or Class B temporary license to carry firearms or feeding devices or ammunition therefor, within the commonwealth, may be issued by the colonel of state police, or persons authorized by him, to a nonresident or any person not falling within the jurisdiction of a local licensing authority or to an alien that resides outside the commonwealth for purposes of firearms competition and subject to such terms and conditions as said colonel may deem proper..." (http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/140-131f.htm) and it goes on for a page or so of conditions, restrictions, blah, blah, blah.
It means for a non-resident to even have possession of any firearms, ammunition, "feeding devices" such as clips or magazines in the state of Massachusetts, that person must have the respective temporary license, I don't think he had the license(s) and this is why you MUST research and confirm ALL gun laws FOR ALL the states you plan on traveling through but this guy is being made an example of for everyone planning or thinking of going through the state of Massachusetts with firearms or other kinds of weapons such as knives, brass knuckles, etc. This state's gun laws are a lot more complex than this I just used this for space sake. Massachusetts has some of the toughest gun laws in the country.

Mass. General Laws
Chapter 140, Section 129C
A non-resident may possess a rifle
or shotgun in Massachu setts:
1. While hunting and in possession of a valid
hunting license.
2. While on a firing or shooting range.
3. While traveling in
or through Massachusetts if the rifle or shotgun is unloaded and enclosed in a
case.
4. While at a firearms show organized by a “regularly existing gun
collector’s club or association.”
5. If he or she has a license or permit to
possess any firearm in his or her home state, if its licensing requirements are
as stringent as those of Massachusetts, as indicated by a published list of such
states promulgated by the colonel of state police.

Yes this is true, but if 1 of the firearms were not in a case then that would be nullified.
don't get me wrong I hope that this guy gets found not guilty and sues the pants off Massachusetts

His guns were all enclosed in cases. We don't know yet if they were locked per FOPA or not, but they satisfy the state's requirements. But that doesn't mean anything to JBT's who hate freedom.
MA...a state I really enjoy boycotting, because I hate it so much. I will never step foot there. Ever...
