How? A friend called the FAA and asked "Is there any law or regulation against strafing the ocean with a machine gun?" and the FAA informed him they were aware of no such prohibition. So, he piloted while his girlfriend practiced area denial techniques from the passenger seat on the Atlantic. Made some neat videos as well.Putting a shotgun on a platform is probably ok. Putting one on a UAV, on the other hand, might be problematic.
Massachusetts Firefighting Academy in Stow and Springfield. NES Field trip on 2/17. Have to apply by the end of this week. Not sure how often they run these exams.
As to the Cannon exam - A local cannoneer (RIP) told me the exam was an old fashioned blue book, with one question given: Write down the loading and firing sequence for a cannon.
Not co-signed by Epstein's mother, not valid.
Thought the "cannon license" was only required for public cannon shooting displays, not for owning or shooting a cannon at a range privately.
right now I can only think of one, breathing, but I bet they're working on it.A cannon license? Is there anything in this state that doesn't require permission from the government? Holy hell.

Mostly for fun huh? other than fun?I'm interested in obtaining the MA license to shoot cannons and mortars, mostly for fun. It requires an endorsement from a current cannoneer. There was one guy who advertised a training program that netted you the endorsement (and relieved you of $250, but I can't fault him). His email, however, no longer works.
Do we have any members here who have a license and would be willing to pay it forward? Do you have any tips for finding current licensees?
