You don't say who denied. State? Feds? Eventually Andover (the only club with one) will see this for the headache it is and give up, but until then, I am sure a call to FRB will lead to the specific answer as to why this particular issue is happening.My Sportsmens Club has a LTC . Persons who name it is under( club Prez) went to purchase a firearm for the club today, and was told unable to purchase.
Why?
Solutions?
No...."was told unable to purchase. Why?"
Wouldn't the FFL know why? Doesn't the rejection SAY why?
its when cumulative fudd factor exceeds certain threshold, it 'just happens'.tell me what a club LTC is
the ?dazed and confused?
and, i guess it HAS to be the same club that prohibits certain paper targets?
At WSA we recently investigated getting an LTC for the club. A well known and respected 2A attorney here on NES told us it was bad idea and don't do it. We listened to them.
When it accretes enough fudd matter, eventually the club collapses into an LTC singularity...its when cumulative fudd factor exceeds certain threshold, it 'just happens'.
a classic 'transition of quantity into quality' thing.
Thank you for answering the question.a club LTC allows the club as a entity to purchase and hold guns in the name of the club for club/ members use.
Were they buying a gun to raffle off? That stinks of straw purchase to me
They have to prohibit certain targets as long as the club has an LTC -- that's in the MGL.dazed and confused?
and, i guess it HAS to be the same club that prohibits certain paper targets?
one of the things that comes along with it is a club that holds a LTC can not allow the use of human looking targets or silhouettes on the propertyThank you for answering the question.
This seems like a really stupid idea
Those silhouette targets are just a little too real...They have to prohibit certain targets as long as the club has an LTC -- that's in the MGL.
It is. See MGL Chapter 140 Section 131(b), which only applies to clubs that have LTCs:Thank you for answering the question.
This seems like a really stupid idea
(b) The colonel of state police may, after an investigation, grant a license to a club or facility with an on-site shooting range or gallery, which club is incorporated under the laws of the commonwealth for the possession, ... The club shall not permit shooting at targets that depict human figures, human effigies, human silhouettes or any human images thereof, except by public safety personnel performing in line with their official duties.
'and many more' (c)They have to prohibit certain targets as long as the club has an LTC -- that's in the MGL.
Those silhouette targets are just a little too real...
G.L. ch. 140, § 131(b):I have nothing to add. BUT can someone tell me what a club LTC is? Never heard of it
No. The NICS response is only "PROCEED" (with the sale), "DENY", or "DELAY".Wouldn't the FFL know why? Doesn't the rejection SAY why?
It’s for when your wife wears the pants in the family and tells you you can’t buy a gun.I have nothing to add. BUT can someone tell me what a club LTC is? Never heard of it

Nope. Typical cop carveout. Only us unwashed sub-citizens are prohibited.so if the local gendarmerie uses the club to train and qualify, are they prohibited from using silhouette targets?
