The MA Open Carry rabbit hole goes deep but for some reason, despite all the interest, details remain light. Specifically, websites like Handgunlaw.us and USCCA have disclaimers on the "MA Open Carry" part like, "However, it is uncommon and there have been reports that some jurisdictions will use this as grounds to revoke licenses or to charge you with another type of offense (i.e. menacing)." Yet I have been unable to find a single case of someone with an MA LTC reporting to have their license revoked or suspended, nonetheless criminally charged for open carrying.
Most posts even discussing this topic were from before Bruen where Massachusets technically was a may-issue state and would revoke permits if you rubbed the issuing authority the wrong way (including being called about one of their citizens "caught" open carrying - allegedly). However, now that we are post-Bruen do you really think open-carrying would lead to revocation?
Personally, I am on a non-res LTC issued by the state police. I've debated just straight up emailing the FRB asking "Hey, if I open carry and some local LEA calls you to complain about it, will you revoke my permit?" Legally, I am confident I am in the right but still, I'd rather not have to deal with the bs administrative nonsense of appealing, waiting, etc.
To clarify, I would be open carrying in the Boston/Dorchester area.
IF ANYONE RESPONDS WITH "JUST CONCEAL CARRY" OR "THIS IS A DUMB IDEA" YOUR BALLSACK WILL BE REMOVED. I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN HEARING YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE LEGAL & ADMINISTRATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS, IF ANY.
Thank You
