Called the PD after recently submitting LTC. They said I was approved and sending it to the state. Does that mean I am all set just have to wait for licensure issuing? Thanks in Advance for any replies!
Also any recommendations for beginner courses in MA?(I live 20 min south of Boston)

Hey, OP.

Now, you wait for the local PD to let you know that it's ready.

As for "Basic courses" please let us know what discipline(s) you want to get into, and a rough area as to where you're based.

More details = better responses.

American Firearms School in North Attleboro does basic courses and also allows you to rent guns if you want to try stuff out
 
You can call the Firearms License Application Status Hotline at (617) 660-4722 to check the status.

Patience is a virtue when it comes to MA LTC applications/renewals. My wife is on 5 months waiting on her renewal. She called the hotline several times and it is progressing but they told her that they are way behind.

There are a LOT of people in the pipeline right now.

The laws in DRPM (Democratic People's Republic of Mass.) are complex, to say the least.

Reach out to Len 2A Training on the board, for one of his classes.

As for the rest, start researching Clubs in your area. You'll need one to practice. Some are "better" than others; others are more focused on one sort of shooting than another.

Lurk around here, ask questions, and have a thick skin. Lots of knowledge here, as well as sarcasm. Welcome. Also, "Go Green" - become a paid member. You'll get more access to the board, and not have to listen to everyone saying, "Go Green."

In my town they are now delivering them to your house in person. Don't know how much I like that actually.

Something about seeing a police cruiser pulling up my driveway and a policeman standing at my door, I don't know???? I have nothing to hide but that whole scene can be stressful. And I do not need anymore stress in my life these days.

No, that doesn’t mean you got approved. I submitted mine and Police Chief approved and they sent it to Bureau for processing , then after 5-6 weeks I got a call from PD and they informed me that there is a something on my record which I didn’t mentioned in the form(I know it was my fault and lesson learned). So they declined me. Although in my case I got arrested but the DA didn’t file any charges because I was innocent.

My local PD blamed the state for my renewal taking over four month to receive.

I have an option to appeal but decided not too. Even though I have a very high chance to win the case. Good luck on your LTC, and recommend you to get insurance as well. Learn MA gun laws too.

Why wouldn't you appeal out of principle? Especially if you can win? Imo it seems better to appeal now than 10 years from now when you change your mind

To be honest with you for few reasons. 1) very expensive 4-5k 2) I think in my opinion having LTC is kind of becoming meaningless specially the senates going to pass the new laws. 3) I’m in MA temporarily and moving back in Colorado maybe in 2 years.

Dems are passing what they want to pass and MA is a blue state and nothing we can do I guess(again this is my opinion). Tomorrow or next year they will pass more laws unfortunately.The only thing we do, to come this forum and yell and scream but that is not going anywhere. The best defense is offense and this is what we need to do. We need too force the senate to pass over 10 round magazine, full auto machine guns, not just sit here to see what they do and then start to complain. This is my opinion and just a suggestion. Sorry English is my second language and my grammar is messed up.

A lot of people is just a bullshit answer. There is no reason it can't be done in 2 weeks or less
