Does Massachusetts really have a trigger law? First I've heard of it. Some agencies have trigger laws, ie. New York actually has Glock give them the "New York trigger" which is about 11 -12 lbs. which supposedly reduces the danger of negligent discharge but in reality means that if a New York cop start shooting get behind something huge, thick and heavy because there is no telling where his bullets will go. Trying to control multiple shots with that heavy of a trigger is tricky indeed. That's why most double action weapons turn into single action after the first shot.
PS, this isn't meant to insult New York's finest, just a commentary on what their dept equips them with. I'm sure some will argue that they are just fine with the heavy trigger. Of course the families of dead innocent bystanders and dead hostages might disagree. The simple fact is that you are more accurate with a more reasonable trigger pull on the second and subsequent shots.
IOW...is modifying a gun to any any point that the state deems it to be illegal a chargeable offense?
Being that I live in Massachusetts - MA compliant guns come with 10# triggers (or at least most of them do).
Now suppose you used your gun in a legitimate self defense situation and were found innocent by the court of law but you had done a trigger job on your gun; could/would they find you guilty of some other weapons charge due to the trigger job?

I guess I am sort of relating it to motorcycle exhaust pipes. Many are "illegal" to have and won't pass inspection if you have them on your bike but yet are sold everywhere.
Or am I comparing apples to oranges?
