I'm trying to remember, does Boston provide written definitions of restrictions when you get your LTC? Has anyone requested official definitions and gotten a response?
Unless you are Bill Clinton. He'd ask what the definition of "no" isI don't think they do anymore, but I can't remember. You don't really need an explanation for "No Concealed Carry".
No, they are not just covering their backs. The town, the police department, and the police officers themselves have no liability if they issue you an unrestricted license and you do something bad with it. This is about power and BS politics and violating your rights because they can, nothing more.this restriction problem creating even more problems. I agree for most part, but in red towns they just have unwritten rule not to issue unrestricted license for first time around. They just covering their back in case of something happens but if you show to your COP that can trust you even more next time around they will take off restriction as long as you asked for it.
My understanding is that pretty much every licensing state makes revokation an automatic disqualifier.
Your understanding is incorrect. In "shall issue" states, one requires a felony or, in some cases, certain misdemeanor convictions. A past revocation could be a huge hurdle if you try to get a license in a may issue state.
I can't speak for anyone but myself.When I was a cop,if I ever found a person with a lawful carry permit with some dang restriction on it,there is no way I would charge the person unless he had really done something wrong.I am sure there are others out there on patrol that would agree with me.Too bad cops no longer see shades of grey.However,this has been brought on by the USA become a nation of lawyers and litigation.We now have cops that only see black&white when it comes to making decisions.

+2 to you guys! I will also add that I know a cop (currently still serving and likely will continue to keep serving for many more years to come) who has never made an arrest for a DUI. He simply stated to me one day that he knows all of us have likely driven home after having a bit too much (not that I'm saying it's smart nor was he), but he said it's not grounds for arrest in his eyes unless there are other potential charges. Every time he pulls somebody over for DUI he just makes them have their vehicle towed back to their place and he gives them a lift home...and believe me...I'd much rather pay $100 bucks for a tow than face a judge with a DUI charge. He's a great guy with a big heart
I hope we're talking about someone a little over the limit and not someone completely plastered? People die from this stuff, and I know all too well first hand.
