Boston LTC A Issued in less than 3 weeks

[pjorg]

Went to Moon Island to take the qualification test on August 4, and my license just arrived in the mail today.

Not so thrilled with the "SPORT AND TARGET NO CONCEAL CARRY" restriction, [STRIKE]but that's life[/STRIKE] but that's not a battle for right now.

At least they got it to me in a timely fashion.

 

[Sir_Macadoo]

it is what it is for the time being. congratulations.

 

[bubajoe]

You mean they denied your rights in a timely fashion.

 

[Boghog1]

if you were participating in these sports would it be okay to carry concealed?

 

[Stef]

"NO CONCEAL CARRY"

That would be no.

You know things are bad when people are happy about getting screwed in a timely fashion.

There's always something to be unhappy about. It's much more pleasant to look at the bright side, though.

"Well worded" isn't enough. It needs to be strongly worded. And also, make lots of references to the Constitution. I find that that is highly effective.

Not sure. I've only ever shot a Glock 27, Sig P245 and Beretta 92FS, so any wish list I could provide (outside of those) would basically be me telling you which ones I think look nice.

I did shoot the Sig recently, and I feel like I can handle a .45, so it will likely be in that caliber. Cost is a factor, but I'm willing to pay for quality—say $1000 max, maybe a little more depending on circumstances. I'd rather have a less expensive gun and lots of ammo for the range than an expensive gun and nothing to shoot it with, though.

Headed out to Western Mass this weekend, so maybe I'll take the opportunity to head over to S&W on Saturday morning and try a few of their guns.

 

[wolf223]

that's a whole nother thread, but... a M&P45?

i don't know your experience, but i'd suggest getting a rifle and pistol with the $1k.

i.e. M&P9 and a M&P15-22. ammo is cheaper and you'll have to fine guns that run like tanks. replace either with another similar cost gun... but that's just me

 

[mousegunfan]

They are actually printing no conceal carry on the license now? When they put on the license what you can not do are they opening the door to being allowed to do things not denied on the license. I guess you could interpret this to mean "I can open carry" because they did not deny it.

You're right, he shouldn't have even bothered. That sure would have showed Boston a thing or two!

Don't forget the Newport. Congrats.

Shop around. Go to a bunch of stores and ask to look at a bunch of different pistols, so you can see if they fit your hand/feel natural.

Please tell me that's a joke.

 

[cekim]

Please tell me that's a joke.

Much like his "License To Carry"... Neither are terribly amusing though....

That about says it!

 

[Bill Katt]

Why do they even call it a "License To Carry" when you can't?

 

[Martlet]

Right? Makes me sick to my stomach.

 

[vellnueve]

Why do they even call it a "License To Carry" when you can't?

"Carry" in MA is basically defined as possession.

 

[Knuckle Dragger]

You mean they denied your rights in a timely fashion.

The right to 'bear' has not been affirmed (yet) by any court. So far all we have affirmed is the right to 'keep'. Stay tuned, there are probably about six 'right to carry' cases working their way through the federal courts right now. Two of the more prominent ones have activity scheduled in the next couple of weeks.

It took years to build this wall. Don't expect it to come down in one blow.
