I'm 7 months too, my house goes on the market March 4th getting out of this state!!!As of this week it's with the FRB. Does that mean that the local PD cleared it and now it just needs to be printed and mailed?
This is my wife's renewal and she doesn't want to make waves. Me, I will not play nice - submitted my renewal SEVEN months early in December and I'm going to hound them for it. Completely unacceptable that it's taking this long.
It's. Still. With. The. PD.Dropped off my renewal on 18 Dec. Just called DCJIS - my PD didn't even enter the application until February. They're supposed to issue it within 40 days and they took longer than that just to get it into the system. Wow!
finally received my renewal 9 months! good luckIt's. Still. With. The. PD.
Frankly, I don't care THAT much, as I can still carry after my LTC expires, and I can understand that they apparently have had a massive number of applicants, but it's mind boggling that they're blatantly ignoring the law. What actually does annoy me is that they once again told me that post-expiration I can carry but I can't purchase, which is blatantly false (@Len-2A Training can correct me if I'm wrong). Oh well, I'm not about to sue them so I'll keep on waiting.
send this to your state rep along with a copy of the law showing the 40 day deadline, and comment that even the 143 days is atypical and in most cases it's much longer.Stoneham, MA
Quite the doozy... Bold for highlights. Absolute clusterf***. I blame the state more so than anyone else. Local PD was awesome throughout the process - very cordial and conscientious.

I think post-bruen all towns MUST be green, they just vary wildly on how quickly and with how much prodding they issue a license.Howdy. Wondering if anyone has any current info regarding the status of Ipswich…red/green?
I wouldn't say green per say. They do issue now but it still took me 6 months from sending the app in until I got the card. But as long as you have the paperwork and follow up you should get it. They still drag their feet and stretch the process out but do eventually issue. At least that was my experience with the process back in 22/23.I musta missed it.... Weymouth moved to Green yet?
My question about gun law is recently i just purchased a extra 22lr upper for my ar15 and it came with a muzzle device just screw in, now my question is do it need to pin and weld it?

You are right, you can purchase with the MIRCS receipt. Some dealers and probably all the big-box stores won't deal however.
Saw recently two student of mine get LTC's in less than 4 weeks.
Arlington, brand new US citizen, applied for LTC after being sworn in, received in hand 2 1/2 weeks later.
