(8/29/17 — 3:45 p.m.) Update: A spokesman at the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection advised a New Boston Post reporter this afternoon to contact the department's special licensing and firearms division. An employee who answered the phone there said she could not provide any additional information but said gun owners and sellers should "keep doing what you're doing" and to expect to hear a specific announcement soon.
