Thinking of buying a house in canton I currently have a class a unrestricted. My question is will they renew my current license or give me some other license? Any and all story's will help.

I would look one town over to Stoughton, or even come further towards Mansfield.

After waiting 4 months just to get an appointment in Worcester for finger printing, etc my wife's appointment is finally coming up in a couple of weeks. Hopefully she gets ALP as I couldn't. We shall see.

4 months to wait just for the interview, and another 6 months to get her LTC. [rolleyes][puke]

... in Millbury which is typically 30-40 days, today is day: 42

It looks like I could potentially have my license by day # 56

... still grateful

The police broke the law and stole your civil rights away. How can you be grateful for THAT?
 
Let me re-phase...grateful to be finally able to exercise my 2nd amendment rights....but also feeling very much like my rights are being trampled every day in this state...

You also took the "still Grateful" portion of my original post out of context....

I'm not grateful for being made to wait past the allowed 40 days....

however i am grateful that my town doesn't make people wait 3 months for an interview, then another 4 months just to get a restricted class A license...

Maybe "relatively happy" would be better.

I'm still following your saga, as I think it points out that the wait time is not necessarily a local PD thing, that individuals get hit with different waits based on individual circumstances by the state portion of the process, before it gets back to the local PD to give their approval.

Lol yep relatively happy is about right at this point haha.. Tomorrow is 7 weeks...spoke with the FRB 8 days ago and they told me all the background checks were done and the license was gonna be activated and printed.. They said my local PD should have it in 2 weeks, so that would be 6 more days...

from the other Millbury people I've talked to, the 2 weeks is accurate so im still hoping for within a week!

Got my Class A LTC No Restrictions today, exactly 7 weeks to the day since applying in Millbury....

Haha my wife called me on my work # but i missed her call, then suddenly i get an email from her with a picture attached....i opened it up and its a picture of a Massachusetts LTC, didn't think much of it till i noticed my name and DOB!!

Well needless to say I'm pretty happy right now to finally have it in hand...

Already bought an M&P 40 Range and Carry Kit a few weeks ago, now i can go pick it up today....now begins the never ending search for ammo!! Haha

Well i just got back from my local store empty handed!

They were holding the M&P Range kit that i paid for in full a few weeks ago...

Well the guy said the NICS check came back "Delayed" and gave him a proceed date of 4/2/13....very annoying

I did have one arrest on my record 10 years ago that was CWOF/Dismissed, it obviously wasn't a problem since i got my Unrestricted Class A LTC

BUT apparently there will likely be a 3 day "cool-down" period for me....at least that's what the dealer told me....he says that he usually gets a call back within a couple days with the go ahead...

so more waiting lol

A buddy in Lynn just went in to make an appointment. He got one at the end of May. Then the 3-4 month wait for the LTC

I still can't wrap my head around needing an appointment to begin with. Every town I've ever applied in, you just walk in during the designated hours and they take care of you (Chicopee, Holyoke, Springfield, Agawam)

Chief Brooks was appointed ~1 year ago. He came from Wellesley and from a couple of brief discussions I had with him when both of us were testifying against onerous proposed CMRs, he seems like a real good guy wrt 2A. I don't live in Norwood and thus have no first-hand knowledge of what he's doing, but I'd truly be surprised if he didn't issue unrestricted LTCs to those that meet statutory requirements. I think this is what 71montess is referring to.

A few days ago, my friend in Lexington just received her LTC-A with no restrictions after a 3 month and 1 week wait.

Let's keep an eye on Lexington. Recent applicants have told us that they've changed their policy in the wake fo Sandy Hook and are now only issuing restricted LTCs.
 
Could you imagine? Lexington. THE Lexington. It boggles the mind. Just a reminder:
From Wikipedia said:
The first shots were fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington. The militia were outnumbered and fell back, and the regulars proceeded on to Concord, where they searched for the supplies. At the North Bridge in Concord, approximately 500 militiamen fought and defeated three companies of the King's troops. The outnumbered regulars fell back from the minutemen after a pitched battle in open territory

More militiamen arrived soon thereafter and inflicted heavy damage on the regulars as they marched back towards Boston. Upon returning to Lexington, Smith's expedition was rescued by reinforcements under Brigadier General Hugh Percy. The combined force, now of about 1,700 men, marched back to Boston under heavy fire in a tactical withdrawal

Yeah, that Lexington..[crying]
 
Concord, MA remains green. My wife and I applied and interviewed on January 2, 2013. We received our LTC-A licenses, both unrestricted, yesterday, March 29, 2013. Total wait time = 87 days. We were told to expect a 3-4 month wait.
 
Millbury, MA definitely still green even with the new Police Chief

Took 7 weeks to the day, Class A Unrestricted....and that is with 1 minor arrest on my record from 10 years ago, other people with completely clean records are only waiting about 4 weeks!

VERY VERY happy to live an excellent town!
