FRB now has "Name Change" form

[tripletaco]

I just found this interesting. I have a pending move coming so I was on the state website looking for the "Address change" form.

When we got married 4 years ago I used the address form and sent a letter along with it to the FRB requesting my wifes name change on her LTC. I notice now they have a "Name change" form right next to it. This appears to be new, the date on the form is 02.2020. Just thought this might be helpful to someone.

Report an address or name change for your firearms license

Massachusetts law requires that you report a change of address within 30 days of moving.

The form says that you will not receive a new license with the new name on it. Doesn't make sense to me.

Thats how its always been. they WILL NOT print you a new licence. It will however be changed in the "system". If you go to the portal and do a licence verification it should show up correctly.

I beleive there are old threads around on the subject of name changes where Len confirms this.

I know in the past that they refused to re-issue on name changes as I had some folks contact me about it. Like you, it makes no sense to me either.

Can I change my gender?

With a pair of scissors? Sure.

Maybe change species while you're at it.

"Sir, are you classified as human?"....."Negative, I am a meat popsicle"

Why stop there?

Some days I identify as a cat, when I'm feeling frisky. Today, I'm a bit sad, so I'm identifying as a box of tissues.

I bet you could change your gender monthly and that would be OK.

I feel for you.

Right now I'm feeling rather sheepish.

Don't tell Linsky!

Does my gender on DL have to match gender on LTC to purchase firearm?

Can I change my status from unsuitable?

I'm not surprised. They don't send you a new LTC with the updated address when you move either.

In fact, on one of my renewals (NR), FRB made a typo and listed my address incorrectly (they listed my business zip code with my residence address). When I called them about it, they let me know that it was corrected in their system but that I wouldn't be getting a corrected license.

At $100 each, they can't be giving them away.

I'm sure that the majority of the cost is for raw materials....otherwise, it would be taxing a right.....
