They can change it. They just are too lazy to do it.

So why are you on NES about this? The new chief CAN lift the restriction. It may be a question of ignorance not laziness. I'd be contacting a top notch firearms attorney, arranging an appointment with the chief in the company of said attorney or in a manner said attorney advises and resolving and educating in a polite and cordial manner. Will it cost you some $$$$ yes it will? How badly do you want those restrictions lifted.

Could I get a status update on Norwood, please?
Chief Bill Brooks is a very reasonable man and the town has changed to not hassling residents and reports are that unrestricted is the rule rather than the exception there now.
Just got unrestricted in Natick, took 1.5 months from app - license.
The town of Waltham Sucks!!! I have been shooting since 1974 I belong to several gun organizations I have taken several gun courses beyond what is required for an LTC. I was given a restricted permit & told when I renew my licence they will give me a non restricted ltc.This was three years ago.I just wrote to our new chief of police that I had my 2nd spinal fusion & lost sight in my right eye, Because of this I cannot run or fight so I needed my licence for all lawfull purpose. They denied me over the phone. Would not even give me a written reason.
Waltham is a Bummer

Looking for an update in the town of Mendon, still green? Moved here a few years ago and my license is up this year.

Hope you did a change of address for the LTC when you moved.
Yes I did change my address when I moved.
Yup Waltham and their "6 year probationary period". I have a heart condition that keeps me from being able to run...I was still given restrictions and when I asked for them to be lifted a few years in, they said they couldn't.

If you can sue them for your RIGHT.
Didn't Sharon used to be one of those places that would B-ram people? Seems like anything would be an improvement from that.

Yes, at least that was what the rumors were. They certainly made it difficult for new applicants, that was confirmed many times.

Canton used to. I don't think Sharon did, at least not in relative history when compared to Canton. Unrestricted A is extremely hard in Sharon from my understanding, but restricted A was always the given. I could be wrong but that's what I remember. Wouldn't shock me either way though!

I'm not going to say Newton is Green but I just received my unrestricted LTC from Newton today having just moved here July 8th from Virginia. I did have a Conceal and Carry permit in Virginia, not sure if that effected my status. Basically the SGT who interviewed me said they were issuing restricted for a year and people would come back and year later and get unrestricted, he also said there were lots of people coming back and challenging it in the courts. He basically said he would save the lady who handles the permits the paperwork trouble and had me unrestricted. I'm not sure if this is a new policy shift or a one time thing.
I'd basically like to thank the folks on this forum for all their information which helped make this process a lot easier.

I'll wager literally most of my expendable cash that "laziness" has NOTHING to do with it.
Sue them.
And if you think you "Can't afford to (beg or borrow the funds)", just remember you thought that the night when, God forbid, some meth-infused whack job has you at knifepoint begging for mercy, and you're asking him to spare the ONE LIFE that you have...
F*ck the PD. Sue them.

I'd call the Waltham Chief back and politely ask him if former Chief W.B. (wifebeater) Lacroix still has a LTC-A in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts...
A friend of mine tried to get a class A in Winchester and the officer in charge hasn't returned in a single phone call. He's been told the offer won't issue them because he "doesn't believe in them". Anyone have any experience in Winchester? I was surprised to see they're green.
Thanks.
Thanks.
They are one of the towns being sued by Comm2A (see Batty v. Albertelli).
Winchester has taken the unprecedented action of recalling and downgrading LTCs that were issued "Restrictions: None". In the case of Batty, they've even done this to people who no longer reside in Winchester. Batty v. Albertelli They are non 'Green'.
Just curious, how is Millis? Saw a bumper sticker yesterday saying "Troopers are your best protection.".Had me laughing in my car.
Is the list in "Post #1" out of date? It shows as:

For us common folk. Where does Batty v. Albertelli stand updates in common folk talk.. I know I am simple
FYI My Father In Law got a restricted license in Marlborough. No record. He didn't even notice until I looked at it. Im not sure Marlborough should be considered green.

I guess some chiefs just like to be sued. Too bad they can't pierce that immunity barrier and go after the chief's personal assets. That's about the only thing that would stop this sort of abuse.
