I wish my CLEO would bust my balls like that.
Stupid because he deliberately put that restriction in knowing that citizens and cops would bust his balls, and thereby waste and tie up police resources.

What kind of gun does he carry? Hope it's something nice looking.
That. Not that fun to get your LTC yanked just because you wanted to OC.
I am aware of how the restriction works for Boston, since they issued my ltc. That's why I'm interested in whether i could open carry on my license, say in my car, as someone mentioned in this thread is legal on a restricted license. Not that i would in Boston, since i can guess what would happen

Boston's LTC letter specifically states no concealed carry on a target and hunting restricted LTC. If you are dumb enough to OC in Boston you will be made an example of, defamed in the media, and served with stiffer charges than a career criminal. The moron that tried to carry into BU's graduation ceremony on a restricted LTC, and recently the dad in Arlington getting into a pissing contest with the principal, should be warning enough that anything viewed by the authorities as reason to revoke your license will be acted upon.
i still dont understand the intrest in open carry recently. The only thing that I can figure out is trying to to the ass-less chaps gay pride parade concept... where the more people see it the more normal it is. the first few years GLTB was seen as horrible and people complained about it, eventualy it got to be the new normal... can this happen with firearms? with out the liberal media's assistance? The whole problem is the fact that most people only see/hear/think about guns as something that police and criminals have (thanks to TV and movies). Would more open carry change that or will it go the otherway and scare people into enough acction with the thought that 'to many people have guns mmkayyyy, we need to pass new laws to keep the scarry guns away from us, mmkaayyyyy'...

In most states, the open carry debate has legs because no government approval of any kind is needed. Take your gun, put it on your hip, walk outside.
In MA, unless you're one of the 1% of gun owners who have a Class B LTC, there will never be a time when you can legally carry openly but not concealed. So while I think the option should be that of the person carrying, the legal distinction is likely to be mooted since there's another viable option available.

Even if you are one of the 13% of LTC A holders with restrictions on concealed carry?

Funny story about that.
About 35 years ago, I was carrying concealed on the common on a sidewalk area along Tremont street. I was walking with a friend who was carrying a guitar case.
Suddenly a police dog began to make some noise and broke free from the cop who was walking on Tremont street. The dog was headed straight at me. I heard the cop yell to call off his dog but the dog just kept coming. The cop called off his dog again and finally about 6 or 8 feet from me the dog turned.
I have always believe that the dog had made me. He was definitely looking at me, not my friend. There would be no other reason for that dog to come after me.
Should I have shot the dog? If I had, would I be out of prison yet?

Just look the part, you can open carry most of the time just fine. Don't dress like a friggin' hoodlum. People WANT to assume you're a cop. They don't want to even think about the alternative, and the ones that don't assume you're a cop are generally carrying also and just want to see what you're packing. I've open carried plenty of times in various places, even while pushing my child in his stroller. But I'm dressing in either a button down shirt and tie, or polo and dress pants and I've rarely seen anyone even look twice. I don't do it all the time, of course, but I HAVE done it and do it frequently on my own property in full view of the road and neighbors. Honestly, nobody wants to think that a person with a gun on their hip ISN'T a cop, so just look the part.
Remember, you aren't breaking the law. So don't act like you are.
You don't have to be fit, either. When was the last time you saw a department where everybody was "fit"? Just don't wear a hoodie and man capris.

Safe open carry procedure for Massachusetts residents.
1. Drive into NH with gun unloaded (unless you have a NH CCW).
2. Exit vehicle.
3. Load gun.
4. Open carry anywhere except courthouses, no questions asked.
5. Stay as long as you'd like.
