To punish the law abiding Massachusetts firearms owners some more
Boston is moving to fire the anti-crime advocate who prosecutors say was handling an illegal high-capacity firearm moments before his girlfriend was shot in the head.
City street worker Jeremy Harrison, 28, pleaded not guilty yesterday to charges of possessing a large-capacity firearm, a firearm with a defaced serial number, a firearm without a federal identification card, and ammunition without a federal identification card, and improper storage of a firearm in the presence of a minor.
Dorchester District Court Judge James Coffey ordered him held on $50,000 cash bail.
Prosecutor Dana Pierce said police are trying to determine how the woman was shot. She called it “troubling†that a man hired by the city to teach violence prevention to youths had a loaded, unlicensed gun.
Boston Centers for Youth and Families spokeswoman Sandy Holden said Harrison’s termination hearing is set for sometime this week.
It must be nice being a government employee. If I took a firearm to my place of employment, I’d be fired on the spot, no hearing necessary.

Heya, Phil, you COULD be a cop, forget and leave your service pistol home, have to go sniveling to the Sergeant, borrow one to do your shift with, and have the Sergeant spill the beans at Roll-Call Briefing.
That has happened to every career LEO I know, at least once.
Or you could be the Chief of Police in Seattle and leave your service gun in an unlocked car to be stolen.
What is this crapola about a ‘Federal identification Card’ ?
