Red towns typically do not issue LTC-A ALP. But being a business owner may weigh differently, but not sure.
Does anyone know if the 'new' COP in Waltham has made any difference in licensing? He's been in for a year...I just wonder if there's been any updates since Chief LaCroix took over for Chief Drew, if it made any difference.
I'm thinking not, since I had a Captain tell me in so many words that there's no reason for me to have a LTC - ALP...

He's charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Malden is still green, just got my Class A with no restrictions.
Aarrgh! I am so frustrated that towns right next to me are green and Waltham is red!
Roar!![[angry2]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/019.gif "Angry2 [angry2]")
I am even more frustrated after visiting Four Seasons today for the first time. I was jealous of the guy in front of me walking out with a sweet purchase. I hope to return there in 6 or 8 weeks with my license in hand and I'll make my first gun buy. I did buy a nice set of ear pads today, so it wasn't a total loss.

Becka: Waltham simply sucks, and it has been that way for at least 10 years and two different licensing officers.
Well, wwaaaaannnh. I don't have to like it. ![[angry]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/008.gif "Angry [angry]")

Ipswich is green! Just got my first ltc with no problem!!
Just applied in Waltham. I was told straight out that they will not issue an unrestricted class A to first timers. "When it's time to renew, if there's no issues, you can get an unrestricted. That okay with you?"
I said I'll take what I can get. I don't think anything I could have said would have changed his mind.
So supposedly I'll have a class a hunting and target in 21 days...

After 41 years in Acton, I can say it's green. Jack.
Wilmington is green. I got my LTC-A unrestricted a little while ago and the lady secretary helping me out was smiling the whole time. Sgt doing the prints was cool too
Anyone know about Lexington? would search thru the thread, but that's ALOT of posts, lol
A fellow that I know had quite the run around in Lexington in 2008. It took him more than 9 months to get his licensed renewed. He eventually got an unrestricted LTC-A, but it was quite an ordeal. It isn't clear to me if they were deliberately trying to be a pain in the behind or were just completely incompetent, or both.

yes, it is supposed to be green, but its more of a minty green, than a good, pro-2A pine green. I believe Underwhere has LTC-A unrestricted from Lexington.
9 months!!! holly crap that's a while, lol. Info is for a good friend that turns 21 in a month, Thanks for the heads up!

he will get it just before his 22nd birthday
its like giving birth: takes nine months, is painful as hell, and you wonder if it was worth it
he will get it just before his 22nd birthday
Lol definitely worth it... just means he's going to get impatient and make me take him shooting with me

First application in november. Second application in december. Last email from Sgt in charge said he would get everything processed as soon as he gets a new fingerprint pad. That was the begining of last week. Still waiting.....

My Buddy dropped off his app in Groveland almost 2 months ago. Still hasn't been called in for interview and prints
reporting from somerville -
the good news - got my class A ltc very quickly. applied around second week of december, just came in the mail thursday.
the bad news- not surprisingly, is restricted to hunting and sport. Mr. tough-guy detective told me during interview he "normally doesn't issue unrestricted to first time applicants". whatever dude. go ahead and tell yourself that makes any sense if it makes you feel better.
some day I need to move back to America.

your friend should contact a lawyer. By law, if 40 days have passed he can consider himself "denied" and file for appeal/review.
East Bridgewater
I just want to restate my appreciation for the East Bridgewater PD.
I took my LTC course with a Sargent from the dept. who did an excellent job and was very pro 2A.
The licensing officer called me back the same day I called him and met with me the following morning. He was very polite, professional and knowledgeable. He told me their policy was "if you can have the LTC by law, we'll give it to you". They can't do any more than that. They only issue LTC-A unrestricted.
The CLEO wasn't involved in my licensing process, but he's worked in town forever and is another stand up guy.

Funny how they just issue for hunting... that's what I got, and I believe you need to complete a 12 to 18 hour hunter's education training for hunting in Mass. I have not completed a hunters ed course... funny how my LTC says I'm good to go for hunting and sport. Whatever sport is...

IIRC, I read somewhere on here that "sporting" is less restrictive than target, so it's actually better than mine which will say hunting and target.Funny how they just issue for hunting... that's what I got, and I believe you need to complete a 12 to 18 hour hunter's education training for hunting in Mass.
