Hi folks,
New member here. My appointment to apply for my LTC B is next week. It took me almost 4 months to get an appointment in Salem, MA. I'm a hunter who grew up in Vermont, so the main purpose of my LTC B is so I can purchase and transport firearms and ammunition to and from my hunting grounds where I grew up. I would apply for a full class A LTC, but I've heard it takes an act of congress to get one in Salem.
I have just a few quick questions:
As I understand it, my class B LTC allows me to purchase large capacity long guns and low capacity hand guns. Approved handguns are listed here and I can purchase any of these handguns as long as they are not on the large capacity list here. Is this correct? I see that the S&W M&P is not listed as large capacity and is therefore legal for me to purchase with my lowly class B LTC. Is this also correct?
My second question is what I should bring to my LTC class B application appointment. My firearms instructor said I need to pick up a "packet" at the local PD. I called and the officer with whom I spoke said I just needed to bring passport photos and that there is no packet. Given that my wait has been so long already, I want my ducks in a row. What should I bring, and what can I expect? I'm assuming that I need to bring my handgun safety course certificate, but what else?
I'm so glad I found this forum. I've been lurking all summer and reading the posts here with great interest. Wish me luck next week!
Best,
Tom
