Dr. Greco will give birth to his own fifth child before he gets a pistol permit for a gun in MA. No way, no how. Sorry, Doc, but thanks for your service.

It's not getting a permit that's his problem. It's that he can not buy/own a Beretta 9mm in Massachusetts. Thus he can not practice to become proficient with the side arm that will be issued to him by the U.S. Government when he is activated.

For those of you who are not familiar with the Massachusetts gun laws:

• Firearms Record Bureau
• CHAPTER 180 OF THE ACTS OF 1998

What do you mean? Is the Commonwealth saying this is one of those "unsafe" weapons? Otherwise it does devolve to the Doctor not being able to get a permit of some kind.
