My mistake - I'm an idiot and misread the article. 434,000 is right.

Where did you get the figure 1.5 LTC holders in MA? The latest available figures in December of last year (according to the MA Sec. of State’s website) were from June 2018. At that time the total number of ALL firearms license holders in MA was listed as 434,000. Has there been a 200% increase in firearms licenses issued in less than 2 years?
Umm...it just came out. see below (from above):Brothers:
The Order hasn't even come out yet !!! Everyone relax for a bit. The Judge will not sign the Proposed Order as presented, he will be writing his own. We don't know what the wording will be
Until then take a chill
Here's a direct link to the PDF of the order for anyone who needs it:

In Mass, I can walk into my insurance agents office and leave with a registration and plates (and I think register to vote.)So now what happens to the cops who refuse to process licenses?
Assuming you have an LTC, you totally could. Frankly, the hardest part would be getting the shop to sign folks up for GOAL/Comm2A. That said, I know many have fliers and such on their counters.In Mass, I can walk into my insurance agents office and leave with a registration and plates (and I think register to vote.)
Mass Residents should be able to walk into a gun shop and after MIRCs, leave with a firearm, ammo and a GOAL membership...
(I know MIRCs don't work that way... but it should.)
I actually meant "Receive an LTC" at the same time, after passing a background check...Assuming you have an LTC, you totally could. Frankly, the hardest part would be getting the shop to sign folks up for GOAL/Comm2A. That said, I know many have fliers and such on their counters.
Lol. They'd have to operate 24/7 and still wouldn't get caught up. (unless inventory ran out)This order is pretty bullshit, and frankly I'm disappointed that nobody fought the 4 appointments/hr.
I'm trying to imagine 4 seasons with 4 appointments an hour...
Where does it say in the order that the appointment needs to be for one person? Why not have one appointment on the quarter hour - One appointment every 15 minutes(4 appointments/hour) for 10 people or whatever the shop can accommodate to maintain social distancing
Firearms dealers licensed pursuant to Mass. Gen. L. ch. 140, § 122 shall be permitted to conduct sales of firearms and other goods, and may sell ammunition if licensed pursuant to Mass. Gen. L. ch. 140, § 122B, by appointment only, with not more than four appointments per hour.
I think they technically need to drop the comma after “firearms and other goods” in order for “by appointment only” to apply to it.Any English Majors?
Does this mean Firearms dealers are permitted to conduct sales of Firearms and if they are also licensed to sell ammo they can sell that ammo by appointment only, with no more than 4 appointments an hour. Does the appointments, as written, apply to the whole sentence or just the second phrase regarding ammo. Don't ask me, I needed spell check forsentancesentence.
Where does the 4 appointments per hour bullshit come from?
If you had a big enough shop, you could have four or five clerks EACH doing four or five sales an hour. There's usually some overlapping as each customer is in a different point in the sale process.
How is that not some sort of restraint of trade claim?
I DGAF what this judge thought of Cedrone, THIS judge was an A hole !Not to mention, the judge once again expressed his displeasure at the Cedrone party for their pointless ex parte TRO filing at the start of the case.
That’s what would be reasonable.One might push the envelope to 4 appointments per hour per employee working.

Depending upon how many employees I had I would require a minimum of four customers per appointment.Technically it doesn't, but I guarantee no FFL is going to split that hair.
every firearm purchased is like destroying one of maura’s horcruxes.
