Belmont, Red (possibly Black: I was TOLD that when I renew they MIGHT grant an ALP...but you know how far I trust that)

Ok, everyone in North Attleboro that I know...they only put ALP on thier app and they've all gotten it, including myself.

So I would say that we're green as well.

Maynard renewed me ALP no problem all the time ( July 2004 and it's still the same chief and SGTs) but I have no idea of new applicants.

First, a request: can the folks supplying their experience state when it happened? It would be good to know how up to date the data are.

I had no trouble in Bedford. First license, no extraneous crap required, and the only reason I listed was "All Lawful Purposes". This was in January 2004.

Well, just renewed in April and still only listed ALP. So I would say pretty up to date for North.

I got my LTC-ALP last December, first try, first time applying.

Oh -- my sister got hers in Hubbardston -- ALP -- so Hubbardston is green also.

Bolton First application in the town must meet with the chief.

My Very first LTC under the Chapter 180 rules came from Acton (I was so lucky to have my old one expire at just the right time. At that time Acton was Green and the License Authority said that to keep things simple it was Class A ALP or nothing. Things might have changed. BTW, that first LTC was number 103.

Before that I was in Ashland, but Tom Kinder was my Football coach, and Robert Gonfrade used to hang out and hunt with my best friend's dad. (^_^) Kinda made the whole license thing a moot point. (^_^) So glad i'm not in that town now, I hear that Melnik is as corrupt as mumbles.
