Has he decided on what type of gun he wants? While he waits, he can do some research.

Physician's letter for FID/LTC? Really?

I know someone with an out of state OUI who got unrestricted LTC-A in Methuen under Soloman. He's concerned about his upcoming renewal in June. Solomon is/has retired after getting suspended.
I don't think he has heard anything. Just not sure who is taking his place. When he applied, he met with the license office and requested a meeting with the chief. He explained what happened and had the court records with him. Solomon said he would approve if nothing else showed up. He's worried the next chief won't renew. He's already planning on getting denied and is planning on transferring the 2 guns he owns before his LTC expires. I will tell him to call a FIREARM attorney.

Personally, I would ignore the doctor's note requirement and let them ask for it specifically. It's not the law, they need to follow the law.
I have a squeaky clean record and would welcome some court time to prove my point, I understand some people just want to get on with the process. If no one stands up and says "NO" they will keep chipping away. What's next psych eval yearly? Marital counseling certificate to make sure you won't shoot your spouse?
This is not a REAL requirement it's a speed bump to prevent people from applying. If you are taking the trouble of a doctor visit for this are you really gonna tell him you have fantasies of shooting up a school? Its a complete waste of time.

I agree with you on this. I also know that some chiefs have backed down on non-required BS when the applicant told them NO! We did it, so did a friend. And atty Keith Langer forced the hand of a local chief on the doctor's letter non-requirement and the threat of a lawsuit was adequate to change that PD's policy.
Wrt adults going for a FID instead of a LTC. It's a legit question as some mistakingly believe that the requirements and background checks for an FID are easier than a LTC . . . they are NOT.
Some still think that the FID is "shall issue" . . . and it is NOT. Very few judges would challange a denial for an FID and very few people (without a criminal history) ever get denied a LTC (unless they volunteer negative info about themselves).
So unless you are under 21, there is no reason not to go for a LTC regardless of what types of guns interest you.

Sounds like an atavism from 10-15 years ago. Most "Starbucks decaf chai latte" type of towns had it. My town did. It looks like a leftover from the old website.
Also, allow me to point out that no website, including mass.gov has a requirement to provide correct information. Even the Mass General Laws section of the mass.gov website is not a legally acceptable source. This is I always suggest picking up the actual application from the Police Department along with any printed materials they can provide you to assist with filing.

So no one remembers the Obama rule making Social Security recipients who had someone else listed as managing their money into PPs?

"Include information from the Social Security Administration in the background check system about beneficiaries who are prohibited from possessing a firearm. Current law prohibits individuals from buying a gun if, because of a mental health issue, they are ... unable to manage their own affairs."

Mass law outweighs the ADA - that's only Federal law.
Mass law outweighs the US Constitution.
Gun ownership is a privilege in the PRM - not a right.

What is the HIPAA Privacy Rule?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule provides Federal privacy
protections for individually identifiable health information,
called protected health information or PHI, held by most
health care providers and health plans and their business
associates. The HIPAA Privacy Rule sets out how and with
whom PHI may be shared.
...
Under what circumstances may a HIPAA covered
entity disclose PHI to law enforcement?
...
A HIPAA covered entity also may disclose PHI to law
enforcement without the individual’s signed HIPAA
authorization in certain incidents, including:
* To comply with ... an
administrative request from a law enforcement official
(the administrative request must include a written
statement that the information requested is relevant and
material, specific and limited in scope, and de-identified
information cannot be used).
Which mental health department?

my understanding is that mental health DOES NOT report to any database or respond to any such requests even if made. HIPPA

Depends if you give them permission. The Maine non-resident application included a waiver granting them permission to dig into your mental health medical records.

A bunch of people from Methuen have posted in the "How long did your LTC take in your town" thread and noone has ever mentioned that requirement in Methuen.
Forget the LTC.
If you’re going through METHuen and neighboring cities, ya need a technical.

I assume if someone were to be confined unwilling they would know or a report would need to be filed. In private/public hospitals

What do you imagine they do with people who have lived in 3-4-5 other states?
