Boston carry question.

[phillip]

Have a quick question about carring a concealed pistol in Boston. I have a Class A ALP issued from the town I live in and am currious if I can carry in Boston. I have heard that I can not, but the source is not reliable. Can I carry in Boston or do I need a seperate permit?

Thanks,
Phil

You are good to go. There is no separate permit for Boston.

Oooh mythbusting! Okay, so does the restriction on mags only apply to residents of Boston? Or is there no such restriction.

No such magazine capacity restriction for handguns, either for Boston residents or for other folks.

Maybe the OP was talking about carrying a Kreb. I guess that qualifies as a pistol too, but is the magazine a rifle magazine or a pistol magazine? What is the difference between a rifle magazine and a pistol magazine? Glock mags fit the Kel-Tec SU-16, does that make it a rifle mag? Maybe I shouldn't give ornery Boston LEOs ideas.

Oh the humanity!!!!

I actually didn't know that the restriction only applied to rifle mags and rifles. I have never perused the original language for that regulation/law.

Boston is retaahhded.

Yes, high capacity handgun magazines are legal to possess in Boston as long as they are pre-ban (just like the rest of MA). On the other hand, I am stuck with the 10 rounder for my 10/22.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I second this; anyone considering carrying in the state of MA is well advised to take the course. Absolutely essential information, well worth the time and (small) cost.

I also concur on The Art of Concealed Carry. I arranged for the course to be held at Mansfield F&G a few months ago and it was very good and well worth the time/money.
