Now whos ready to flame this post?
There is a certain criteria for which the lisencesing authority has to go by. It must be uniform and unchanged. Some chiefs require letters for a Class A LTC. Which in most cases is fair. Think About it if you where them. Some kid or adult you have never met lives in your town and has applied for a class A LTC with no restrictions. Would you issue a lisence without getting to know them first.
here is how it has been explained to me. There is a certain criteria for which the lisencesing authority has to go by. It must be uniform and unchanged. Some chiefs require letters for a Class A LTC. Which in most cases is fair. Think About it if you where them. Some kid or adult you have never met lives in your town and has applied for a class A LTC with no restrictions. Would you issue a lisence without getting to know them first. I would not be able to sleep at night if something happened after I just issued some one such a lisence. I understand that people will disagree with me on this issue. You have your right to your own oppinion and to correct my grammer and spelling. on another note. If infact its not required by Federal and state law, it can as said earlier be required by your local chief or town or city in which you have applied.

the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed
Permits should either be "shall issue" or not needed at all, people should not be punished and judged before they even act.
Working in states where they think they have a hope in heck of winning.Where is the mighty NRA with all their $$$?

I am applying for a Class A License to Carry Firearms for all lawful purposes. Having grown up in Lexington, I have proven myself to be a law abiding member of the community and suitable for the responsibility that is necessary for this license.
I have completed the NRA basic pistol safety course taught by *****, who is certified by the Commonwealth of MA and the NRA for this course. In the course, I was instructed on firearm safety and the laws, rules, and regulations as outlined by the Department of Public Safety.
I have also gained experience safely handling firearms as a member of the precision rifle team at *****. I am interested in pursuing some continuing education courses and would also like to become a member of the IDPA or IPSC and participate in competitions. Thank you for your consideration.
Well, to me the 'new' letter still does not demonstrate the 'need' for ALP. In reading it, it clearly says to me that target and hunting would work for you just fine.
I agree.
The 'new' letter still lacks persuasive content, and fails to state the case for needing a Class A unrestricted LTC.

Ya know, I was just reading down through all this to find the new posts, and was thinking what a crock it is that people have to go through all this to exercise a right. They don't need this for a right to free speech or any of the other rights. Like Derek said, it boggles the mind. The worst part is it may get even worse, or is it time enough is enough? Where is the mighty NRA with all their $$$?
From the point of view of the Licensing Authority, what reason would be persuasive enough for a 21yr old full time college student? I really can not think of a reason or argument that would persuade me. It is a catch 22. The Licensing Authority wants you to show experience but the experience can not be gained without the LTC.
But as far as fighting the powers to be the NRA seems to know mass is pretty much a lost cause.
I'm not a 21 year old college student. I would love to date one though (female please).
[TomH] Which is why I'm not sure I'll even become a member... I'd rather support a local group like GOAL that is fighting in this state than one that "gave up" on my area; financial support that is.
- Not being known to cops should be a good thing.
- If it was uniform and fair, then there would be no discretion.
- Most people in the free parts of the country don't have to put up with reasonable bullshit
- Please stay in your socialist hell hole and don't move where I live.
I spoke with a retired det. today and he said he would write my reference letter and give the person who approves a call. We'll see what happens.
