The transit agency will partner with Operation LIPSTICK, short for Ladies Involved in Putting a Stop to Inner-City Killings, in displaying the ads. They will show a woman in handcuffs with the title, “His crime, your time–holding his gun can land you in jail.” Boston Police Commissioner William Evans called the spike in the number of women carrying guns illegally alarming.
