Yeah, thanks for that. As a newbie here seeking info, I like the way you guys are 'helping' me.
It was a simple question, and I didn't 'accuse' anyone of anything, I merely asked if there was a conflict of interest, and if getting rid the training requirement was on the agenda.
After my experiences with the NRA, you'll have to forgive me if I don't place much stock in gun rights organizations that also offer mandatory training.
If you take the time to look at this from my point of view, you will see that (as an outsider) this is not an unreasonable line of thought. Unbunch your panties ladies.
Actually I do have a pretty good handle on that,
i just don't have much patience with it. I've been active in various political movements for the past 20 years, I know how the system works. However, the older I get, the more impatient I get and the less respect I have for the system, politicians and the Law enforcement agencies that act for them.
You will have to forgive me if I find the prospect of having to beg for the ability to legally exercise my rights extremely distasteful. As for the prospect of choosing between my business and becoming a criminal, I have to really hold my nose on that one.
or moving here because of a family commitment (eg, like taking care of someone in your family)
Not moving here will be the best thing you've ever done, and I'm not kidding.

Mike - thats exactly why we are moving to Boston, and why it has to be Boston as opposed to places outside of Boston.
As a gun owner, yes I am horrified at the prospect of moving there, but obviously I am more than just a gun owner - I'm a husband, bread winner, business owner, etc. In terms of family, Boston is the best place for us to be, as a gun owner it is the worse, but family takes priority.
Yes, you're probably right. When you think about it, is there much of a difference between an A and a B in this case?
I also think it is hard for someone to believe how bad the State of Ma interferes with our SA rights.
I've been thinking of a rally on the Commons, or who knows, maybe the Old North Bridge! Is H2259 bound to be reintroduced? A 2-A motorcycle ride in the spring?

To the OP, I suggest moving to Arlington if possible. If you do have to go to Boston, you can get a license, it just requires some paperwork and you won't be able to carry.
Unfortunately for politenessman, the Boston AWB won't allow him to possess large cap rifle mags, even if they're pre-ban, and he needs them for business.
Yeah, thanks for that. As a newbie here seeking info, I like the way you guys are 'helping' me.
Seriously, thats your answer?
Unbunch your panties ladies.
I've been doing some reading (can't seem to sleep tonight) and one thing is raising a huge red flag with me.
GOAL seems to be very active in offering training courses, and training is a part of the requirements for getting a license issued. Where do you guys stand on eliminating the training requirement as a path to eliminating the license or permit?
It seems like you have a vested interest in keeping the training requirement (as you offer the training). I consider training nothing more than a tax or barrier to exercising my right. Don't get me wrong here - I am in favor of training and I train myself when I can, I'm just not a fan of mandatory training in order to exercise a right.
Does anyone actually abide by these laws? And yes, this is a serious question - for instace, right now I can shoot on my own property, but state law says I must be 50 yards from any public roads, however, as most people here don't own vast tracts of land, the local police don't enforce this as long as everyone is playing safe.
Is this the same type of situation?
Is he even posting from a GA IP address? "Politeness"man my a$$.
In yet another thread he's asking people if they actually obey the MA gun laws.
Most people in the US could never imagine gun laws as bad as the ones in Mass. It seems like he's making an honest attempt to sort out what the heck is going on. Go to an FFL in a free state and talk about someone being charged with improper storage of a firearm, see how hard everyone laughs.
ETA: To clarify, it's the type of license that determines the legality of possessing "large capacity" firearms and magazines...
LTC-A allows possession of large capacity handguns, rifles, shotguns and large capacity magazines.
OK to muddy the waters some more I was in a discussion with a member of the Boston police and his attitude and interpretation of the law was that as a Non Resident with a unrestricted "A" license I can carry any thing I want as long as I am legal in my home state. If I was a Mass resident I could only carry preban mags but as a Non Resident I can carry anything. I wish somebody with common sense would rewrite the Mass law in ENGLISH to make sense to everybody.

It doesn't need to be rewritten - it needs to be deleted.I wish somebody with common sense would rewrite the Mass law in ENGLISH to make sense to everybody.

He's wrong.
