Hi all,
Brand new to the forum (and shooting). Hope I don't duplicate material covered elsewhere.
I recently took the NRA Basic Pistol course and was surprised to learn that in Boston (where I live) the PD issues ALP only to "lawyers and doctors" and the politically connected. And I remembered that I had read on this forum that one or two of the lawyers posting here had received ALP out of "professional courtesy" from their respective PDs. (Not sure if they were in Boston or not.)
I know, of course, that Boston is a notoriously difficult place to get one's LTC, but I didn't think that they made exceptions for doctors and lawyers. Is this in fact true?
Does Boston routinely issue ALP to physicians/lawyers?
Presumably if there is such a policy in place it would be based on a tacit directive, so as not to show any signs of prejudice for or against any particular profession. But I would really be interested to know if there is such a policy. Any ideas?
