Thanks for sharing. The top 25 are so hick .

 

[Phlach]

Interesting. I confess to not looking at all slides (slow navigating on my phone), but I would love to see them compile a similar list including restrictions.

ETA: they imply all class A can carry concealed.

 

[turbo89]

not even 1 town with > 10% of the community... we're fighting a loosing battle here.[sad2]

 

[ThePreBanMan]

Damn. lots of permit holders on the cape.

 

[jamison55]

Woo hoo - my town is #41. I'm so proud!

I noticed the same thing. Interesting list; no wonder the rate of firearms crime in Boston is so low... I mean, there are SO FEW concealed guns there...

Exactly what I thought. They should do an average guns per household. I guess the media would label one an arsenal (me) and I'd lose some of my guns.

 

[Mass Firearms]

The first two photos were taken at MFS...don't remember those shots being taken (the first one of the fat guy is the owner of MFS...the second guy is Comm2A’s Knuckle Dragger).

 

[ColdDayInHell]

Yeah this is a concealed carry, or in MA , LTC-A unrestricted. Not a percentage of people who own guns.

 

[neum69]

The national data show that around 50% of adults report owning a firearm (think I saw that link here in the last day or so). The measure wcvb did should have included ltcb and fid as well. Would like to see how Mass stacks up to the nation on overall gun ownership.

Athol #11 does not issue restricted LTCs, nor do they Issue Class B ltc.

Watch your mouth, son.

"We have taken the number of Class A LTCs and divided it by the size of the community to determine the percentage of residents with the firearms license..."

So, NOT the number of Class A LTC's divided by the eligible population?

(That is, if there were a town with ten adults who possessed an LTC-A and 90 minors, they'd state about 10% rather than 100%?)

Pfeh.

 

[Dr. CCW]

I need to see the top 10 least armed, so I can be sure to carry my G17, a spare magazine and BUG when I pass through those towns.

Don't worry, man. Everybody knows we've got more guns off the books in the Berks than the rest of the state has on and off combined.

I am wondering why someone is compiling such a list.

Boy, I hate the left wing, liberal media.

[Rderderian]

Viva la Charlton kinda pumped were number 2

 

[SClaflin]

Coincidentally, #10 Uxbridge's picture was taken from just in front of First Defense Firearms.

 

[Rderderian]

Viva la Charlton kinda pumped were number 2

I was talking to my chief 2 weeks ago and I got a first time ltc-a with no restrictions and we were small talking and he said " hey if your a law abiding citizen i got no problem and if the shit hits the fan don't come to charlton because we have a lot of guns"

That's easy.

Without even looking, here are four of the bottom 10: Boston, Brookline, Cambridge and Chelsea

Newton must be right there too.

 

[Zappa]

After looking at the top 80 list here, I call shenanigans!

What about Tyringham, Oakham and Chesterfield ????
Chesterfield has nearly 35% of the population licensed.

Here's some data I saved from January of 2010.
Since licenses are good for 5 years, the data couldn't have changed very much since then.

Hey I live in #7.... Lol

 

[BigDaddyAl]

I just saw a teaser after the news saying that they (WCVB - ABC Boston) are going to do a story about this tomorrow night on the 11PM news. They said they'll talk about what towns are seeing the biggest increases in LTCs.

Ahh, they should interview me while I send some lead down range with my AK-47 Glock machine pistol. It's for the bears.

 

[Realtor MA]

Unclear if they are referring to 'class a' or 'class a unrestricted'.

I don't think the MSM knows enough about the laws in this state to make a distinction between them.

 

[gixxer_kid]

Number 6 here, but that because Middleboro will not issue a class B or restrictions.

 

[gvd0006]

Number 16 here, don't know anyone in my town that has ever been issued a LTC with restrictions.

+1 to all those I offended! I'm sorry, you all know I love my NES family.
