This video from Guns & Gadgets discusses a landmark ruling where a Massachusetts gun permitting process was deemed unconstitutionally vague. Plaintiff Randy Westbrook's license to carry (LTC) was denied by Holyoke Police Chief David Pratt based on suitability, citing arrest reports. The court, referencing the Bruen decision, found the suitability standard too broad and arbitrary, ordering the permit to be issued. The ruling emphasizes that the Second Amendment does not permit discretionary assessments of an individual's need to carry a firearm.
