If I get an FID card will I also be able to get a pistol? I read somewhere recently that I may be able to get a pistol with an approval to buy that firearm even though I only have an FID card.
Call Comm2A. I'm sure someone over there would love a test case of someone getting an FID and then getting a P to P. Could be precedent-setting!If I get an FID card will I also be able to get a pistol? I read somewhere recently that I may be able to get a pistol with an approval to buy that firearm even though I only have an FID card.
I'm also curious, is there a reason why you have an FID and not a class A LTC? Be it age or revocation of a previous class A license?Why the FID? Age?
Not technically. An FID card allows possession of a handgun only with a permit to purchase that handgun issued pursuant to Ch. 140 Section 131A. I am not aware of any instance of such a permit being issued.Can OP own a pistol with an FID as long as it stays at home?
Say an inherited pistol?
Yeah. Just get apply for the LTC. What town/city?I’m 43 years old. I’ve never had an FID or LTC. My dad passed away a few years ago and my grandmother has his guns in Missouri. She said I can have them but I know I need to have an FID in Massachusetts to keep them. As long as I was going to try to get an FID I was thinking about getting a pistol too, to keep at home (for protection and target shooting).
Just get an ltc and you can get a pistol. Fid you can't get a pistol.I’m 43 years old. I’ve never had an FID or LTC. My dad passed away a few years ago and my grandmother has his guns in Missouri.
