Update in Chicopee, state has PRINTED and MAILED my license as of yesterday. ![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
That's 47 days from interview, and only SIX days from when the state recieved it.

No problem! All in all BPD is easy to deal with. If you do some research on here you can find out what you need in order to obtain a unrestricted license its tough... but completely possible , unlike what some people would want you to believe. The moon island test is a pain in the ass but the officers give you a completely fair shake and are good guys at the range.

Heard back from a few of my students:
Acushnet: LTC-A ALP (52 days from interview)
Westport: LTC-A ALP
New Bedford: LTC-A Sporting restriction.

How did you even get a hold of them?? I've been trying to get a live person for a little while now to try and get my restrictions lifted.
Is it required to take the moon island test even if you don't want to conceal carry? Just curious I will for sure go for it but I was just wondering if it's a requirement because you are applying through BPD.

Yes, no exceptions are made. Have no fear you won't get a LTC that will be good for CCW anyway.
I'm sorry if this has already been covered. Does anyone know what's going on with Framingham these days? I heard it's gone from green to very red. I live in Grafton now but am moving to Framingham on March 17. Grafton definitely green. Any recommendations? Should I apply for my first-time LTC in Grafton and hope I get approved before the move, then transfer it to Framingham?

Still waiting on the call after my license was mailed on the 4th (chicopee)
Only advice is, don't move to Framingham.

That is the first that I heard of a restriction in Wayland. Did you request no restrictions? Is this your first LTC?

crap, please dont tell me I am going to have to erase Wayland from my list of towns to consider moving to.....
Historically they have been a green town. I wonder what changed.
Do you mind if I ask your age? Have you ever had any run-ins with the law (not just arrests, but instances where they have ran your name for one reason or another)? Excessive traffic tickets?
Don't suppose it could hurt to ask for a straight-forward explanation of why they restricted your license. Maybe the chief or the LO knows someone who knows someone you cut off on the highway once...> 50
No tickets since probably 5 years at least ...

Asked for alp in my letter.
how often is this list updated?
Usually within a day or two of new information being submitted.
How is Boston metro not on the list (Brighton/Allston)? Are we just assuming these areas are dark red?
I copied the list of the town names form another site. Do Brighton and Allston apply through Boston, or are they on their own?
Allston, Brighton, East Boston, etc., are all just neighborhoods of the city of Boston. They apply at Boston PD. Boston is red.
That's what I thought.

Brighton has long regretted the day they voted to be Boston.
It's too late now.
