Source: Associated Press
BOSTON -- A mental health evaluation has been ordered for a Massachusetts man accused of trying to take two loaded handguns into a Boston University commencement.
Marshfield resident Andrea Massa was arrested by university police at a bag check area Sunday afternoon. He pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of carrying a firearm on school grounds, disturbing a school and disturbing a public assembly. A judge set bail at $100,000.
The Boston Globe reports defense attorney Charles Humphreys said in court Massa mistakenly believed his firearms license allowed him to carry the concealed weapons.

He's a Massachusetts resident who didn't even have a firearms license--and he didn't KNOW he needed a license.
Nevermind where he was carrying the guns. There's just no way that he didn't know he needed a license.
