Sounds like a lovely story, but I think someone concocted it and is just pulling your leg.
I resided in Boston for a while, and there was no such paper as the Boston Tribune. Additionally, no reputable organization omits the location of the event they report on.

A quick search finds this fake publication also has generated a "Story" about the Feds banning open carry and another story about Wisconsin eliminating food stamps next year.

Seems somebody's having themselves a chuckle.
