What if your lincence number changed??? You won't be able to buy anything because your old number is invalid. They prolly changed it so you would have to come in and get the new one...

The sad thing is that just proves the "back log" that PD's claim to have is total BS

Already did. Waiting for feedback.

I "lost" my wallet. Can I just renew in a different city?
From what I hear, until you turn in your license or it expires, Medford "owns" your license and is responsible for it. If you moved and tried to get your restrictions removed, your new town would have to talk to Medford, and they likely would deny the request.

This. And stop posting about it here. In fact, I'd ask for the thread to be deleted.
This is correct. Not certain about PP outcome, but MPD would likely revoke your LTC if you refused to "cooperate"!
Won't work. See noxin's reply.

Go get your new license or move to another state, changing towns will do little to remove restrictions. For PD to do all this there must be something otherwise they wouldn't go out of their way change your LTC.
Yeah, the Mayor and Chief of Police in Medford think only the elite (special friends, police, and retired police) qualify for an unrestricted LTC. Yet, reportedly, there was a fatal shooting at home of a Medford Police Officer in Stoneham this week. Wanna bet no suitability impact there?
Are you saying that three years after Medford issued your license they suddenly restricted you? Or was this a recent renewal and you have moved to Medford since?

I see. Still wondering where the OP had his license issued from when it was unrestricted, and when the new full time LO came on/started reviewing these things. If it was 3 years ago, it wouldn't have been processed by the temporary guy who was in place if it was Medford. Probably would have been the original guy.

The guy I went through when I got my license was a real cool guy (sometimes smelled like booze, but who doesnt?) Haha the new guy is pretty anal about it. They have a 20 year old intern doing everything on the second floor.
Medford renewal - suggestions?
Hi all (new to NE Shooters!)
I have to renew (three months before expiry) in Medford. My original LTC, no restrictions, was in Arlington. No background issues, belong to Mass Rifle, self-employed.
Anyone else chime in on things in Medford? A friend just got an LTC, no restrictions, so I guess it *is* possible.

The general feedback I've heard that, historically, on renewal they would remove restrictions. I'm still 4 years from that point, so I don't have first hand knowledge. The self-employed/business owner may help you keep your unrestricted as well.
Good luck.

Medford's "old deal" was that they would only try to bone people on original issue. Renewals don't downgrade generally there, but it's still considered a red town... for the type of thing the OP went through.

Nothing ever really came of it... I still have my LTC that says "unrestricted." They called me that one day and told me to come pick up my "newly restricted" license... ive been carrying everyday... I was pulled over right before thanksgiving and had a pleasent conversation with the trooper about carrying .357 glock vs a .40 glock... so.... nothing really has changed..
Did they cancel your old license in order to re-issue the new, neutered, one?

Hey I have a bunch of family members That are cops. Im a government employee myself. Haha.
When I received my restricted license from medford this past June, my attorney spoke with the licensing officer in an attempt to negotiate into something better. I had made a strong case for unrestricted including a letter from my employer validating my claim of "need" and should have been issued unrestricted. I realize I should have been issued unrestricted by virtue of just applying for an LTC, but this is Medford -- a place where freedom died long ago.
What my attorney was told was that while Medford had become a bit lenient in the previous couple of years, the CoP has decided to tighten issuance of unrestricted and limit it to business owners carrying large sums of cash, PERIOD. Unless you fit that profile, you will not be issued an unrestricted LTC on first issue, not on renewal, not ever! Chief Sacco's attitude is basically, "If you don't like it, go ahead and try to sue me."
Let's not forget that Sacco serves at the pleasure of Mayor McGlynn, McGlynn is a proud member of Bloomberg's MAIG, and Sacco has personally attended anti gun events in DC. Until there is a drastic change in the City's leadership, or intervening court rulings, things are not likely to change anytime soon.
