Ya think maybe they have people who read this forum and monitor this thread to see if people get ticked off after having interactions at various departments? I'm betting they all do, and that the more anger people express in here, the less likely they are to give that person a Class A, ALP license. ... gun licenses should be issued without any interviews or any other hoops. But until agencies just follow the Constitution as it was written, I would refrain from throwing fits in here about the people who have the power to grant or deny a license.

Exactly. My fervent hope is that some day all states will be "shall issue," but until that day, I think it's best to be patient, courteous, and - most important - quiet when it comes to certain gun-related things. I wish we lived in a world with no crime or bad guys so that law-abiding citizens didn't need protection, but since we don't live in that kind of world (that is, since we are vulnerable to crime) then I hope all qualified, lawful Americans can freely exercise their Second Amendment rights.

So no offense intended to anyone here, of course.

Some company wont even interview you.
They say, you must have an LTC-A UNRESTRICTED already, and some police dept. in RED TOWNS wont give you UNRESTRICTED UNLESS you have the job with the letter outlining that you are required to have an UNRESTRICTED.
The Police argue that EMPLOYMENT will cover you.

catch22.

Lawsuit in a box.

Interesting thing happened this weekend. I mentioned in a public forum that the Chicopee police dept only issue hunting/target/sporting restricted LTCs. Mike Bissonette, the mayor of Chicopee, saw what I posted and replied directly to me. He said he was unaware of these blanket restrictions and would look into it. Not sure how this will pan out, but maybe some traction will be gained. I will post again if anything new happens. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
 
That's great! I had a couple of students recently from Chicopee, and I asked them to let me know what they were doing now as far as restrictions go.

Just wanted to update everyone on Groveland, MA

Just got printed etc on Valentines day, and The Sargent who handled it said i get a restricted Class A LTC(sporting) for the first year. It is only restricted for the first year per the chief. After the year i can go down and visit or call and they will lift the restriction and allowed Concealed Carry.

I can understand why, they don't want a bunch of people who took a 4 hour glass all of sudden running around with firearms.

uhh....I think you're on the wrong forum. We are PRO 2A rights.... IE no restrictions on anything. We should have select fire class III available brand new on shelves, no licensing, no classes, nada.

You're the reason these laws are still on the books, because you think there's such a thing as a reasonable restriction on a god given right.

There is no excuse for any state, local, or federal authority to restrict the constitution. In-fact, such action puts them at odds with the forefathers of this country. Wake up.

Anyone have any Experience in Peabody?

I know that they are RED on the list, but I was hoping that things have changed.

You mean "Restricitons: None". All LTCs are issued for all lawful purposes.

Save your money. They're more rigid than most 'red' towns including Boston. I only know of one person (although there are others, I'm sure) with an unrestricted LTC. Suck it up or move.

ok what am i looking for if she wins?and if so what go to pd and say hightower v. boston?

Regardless of Hightower winning or losing, the issue is going to the supreme court so you will have to wait for whatever carry case is taken by SCOTUS, then have that reapplied to hightower and then if (we will eventually win I think), there is a win, there will be some form of an announcement as to what to do. The state may make you reapply or the the individual towns may, etc. We are making plans for how to deal with this when the time comes but until it happens, it's not knowable as to what we will recommend doing.
