A 64-year-old Framingham man is facing Massachusetts gun charges after a neighbor reported the man aimed a laser sight into his home, according to the MetroWest Daily News.

The defendant posted $10,000 bail and placed under house arrest after appearing in Framingham District Court. A Framingham defense lawyer experienced in handling Massachusetts weapons charges should represent anyone facing gun charges in the Boston area.

Police arrested the defendant at his Henderson Circle home, shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday after a neighbor called to report a red laser was being pointed into his house from the defendant's residence.

Police found a Black & Decker laser turned on and pointed out the window; they also reported finding a marinjuana pipe nearby, a prosecutor said.

Officers found several guns, including an assault rifle and a 9mm handgun, as well as a black powder handgun and a large-capacity magazine, according to the new's account. Prosecutors said the defendant did not have permits for the firearms.

The defendant was charged with disturbing the peace while armed, two counts of possession of a high-capacity firearm, unlawful possession of a high-capacity magazine, unlawful possession of a firearm, three counts of improper storage of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.

The judge ordered the house arrest in response to the concerns of neighbors and reports that the defendant had acted in a threatening manner in the past. His attorney said his client has never been charged with a violent crime and did not point or threaten anyone with a gun.
