For those that live in Mansfield and have a LTC class A license, could someone critique this letter to the chief of police? I searched around and think I have all the important parts in the letter.
[QUOTE/]I am applying for a Class A License to Carry Firearms for all lawful purposes. Having grown up in Mansfield, 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 Home Firearm Safety Course taught by Steven Hathaway, 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 State of Massachusetts.
I am applying for a Class A unrestricted license because:
1. On the advice of counsel, to prevent any confusion or liability resulting from a misinterpretation of the terms and conditions of a restricted license.
2. Because it is the class and reason for issuance recommended by the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police and is the most commonly issued class of license for that reason
3. Because one is either qualified to own handguns, or one is not; and
4. Because there is no liability to a licensing authority who issues an LTC to a qualified applicant, regardless of the class and reason for issuance.
5. Because it is the Reason For Issuance for Non-Resident Licenses and it is illogical to issue a Massachusetts citizen a lesser license.
I therefore apply for a Class A License to Carry Firearms issued for All Lawful Purposes.
Thank you for your consideration.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
