great, thanks for te help guys hahaha the town is Lawrence one cop is a cousin and I also no two more.
That's absolutely true. I remember I think it was LenS saying that Boston PD shut down some Boston College PD guys for ALPs.
You mean you're not already?Next think you know we'll all be pissing in cups for each renewal. I hope NH stays free so I won't have to far to go if I get fed up with MA.
I'd be interested to know if Lawrence PD is still requiring an applicant for an LTC to bring in a letter from their physician stating that "the applicant is physically and mentally able to ossess and shoot a firearm in the physicians opinion. I know a first time applicant who had a completely clean record and he had to get a letter from his physician(I can't believe a physician wrote it for him) and he still got a restricted LTC for hunting and target and he knew the licensing officer. You're correct... IT'S MADNESS IN MASS>!!!

Applicants for a Class A LTC will be required to submit the following:
* A completed LTC permit application,
* A birth certificate,
* Proof of citizenship or naturalization,
* Proof of residence in Lawrence or having a place of business in Lawrence,
* A letter from the applicant’s physician stating the applicant has no medical or psychological issues that would preclude him/her from owning, carrying, or legally using a firearm. A letter is not required on renewals,
* A firearms safety certificate, issued by a certified firearms safety instructor who has satisfied the requirements of the Colonel of the Massachusetts State Police or a certificate issued by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, (Not required for renewals)
* Obtain a letter from their employer stating the reasons why they would need to carry a weapon for work-related purposes. If self-employed, a letter on their letterhead describing the reason that the carrying of a firearm is necessary. If the reason for the need to carry were not of a work-related nature, a letter explaining the need would have to be submitted.
Once the applicant has assembled all the necessary paperwork, he/she should drop it off to the Firearms Licensing Office. They will be contacted for an appointment, at which time they will be fingerprinted and photographed. The cost of the application or renewal process is $35.00, cash or check, payable to the City of Lawrence. This fee includes the two photographs. There will be no renewal fee for anyone over the age of 70.

Yea they do, and from what I've been told, the police even need a note.
Until someone has the balls and bread to actually challenge this asinine "requirement."
Knucking under to bullies just encourages them.
I think the bread is more likely the thing stopping most. Those with the type of money to blow on a multiyear court battle just buy their LTC-A ALP through their contributions to local politicians.
You are woefully deluded. "Local politicians" don't issue LTC's; police chiefs do. And few of them take orders from elected officials. The Brookline case (STILL pending over 3 weeks after the hearing) is a prime example of how wealth means nothing to a chief.
Did you mean to post years?
(Is it the Lu case you're referring to ?)

So, this a recent case?
What did O'Leary/Raskin do this time?
