A district court judge has upheld a decision to revoke Ashland Police Officer Ed Pomponio's license to carry a gun. [More]But fear not:
Pomponio joined the Ashland Police force last year, and is still permitted to carry a gun while on duty there.Interesting classification of "Only One." If I understand this right, he's not considered trustworthy enough to carry a gun unless he's in a position of authority over you and me, and then he automatically gets his judgment back.
Did I miss something?

Yeah, boss, you missed the fact that they're royalty, and we're not. Insert unbelievable epithet and characterization, here.
Well, I wouldn't care to be him if the husband learns he has lost his permit to carry and also learns his work schedule.
Can't say I would have a lot of heartburn with the likely consequences.
So, the Milford PD thinks he too dangerous to have a carry permit, but the Ashland PD thinks he's OK to put on duty.
Seems like if he threatened a Milford cop and the PD thinks he's dangerous, then maybe they should have arrested him for that.
Isn't Massachusetts quaint in how they locally apply their state gun laws?
The local chiefs of police or their designates control who gets what, and do not necessarily need to give you any reason the license was denied.
I prefer the State of Florida system where the Dept. of Agriculture must give you the license 90 days after application or give you the legal reason why the license was not issued. Violating local rules is not a valid reason for denial unless you have been arrested for crime and have been adjudicated anything other than "innocent".
