So I'm listening to a Spenser novel (newest one - not by Parker) on the way to work. In this, Hawk and Spenser bust into a house and in a complicated (but incredibly stupid gun usage), Hawk shoots a BG with a pump Mossberg.
The cops don't immediately arrest him. My question, what is the local law on driving around town and walking into a house (not yours) with a loaded pump shotgun under your coat.
It would be OK in TX but MA/Boston? Yes, I could look it up but lazy.
BTW, the book is feh. Spenser's time has come and gone. He still chortles about carrying a Chief's Special, listening to Jazz and drinking single malt. Such a detective cliche - boring. Get a new gun for God's sake.
Not that the 38 isn't a good gun. I got 'em but if I was going to face danger (as part of my job) - I'd do better than that.
