I seriously doubt that they will ever run those courses in MA. We don't exactly roll out the red carpet here for Glock, do we?
I find the whole notion of making the knowledge to service a firearm a restricted commodity utterly ridiculous..
for what possible reason is it restricted to LEO and FFL sponsored individuals?
You can service what you want, at least in theory . . . you actually need an FFL and MA State License to do it wrt guns however. Glock parts can be ordered by anyone from many places.
The authoritative book is:
COMPLETE GLOCK REFERENCE GUIDE; 3rd Revised & updated edition (Spiral-bound) by PTOOMA Productions (Author)
http://www.amazon.com/COMPLETE-GLOC...3061735?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174416454&sr=8-1
I guess that I need to "qualify" my statement . . .
You can do anything you like to your own guns, no extra (other than LTC) licenses required.
Once you start working on other people's guns, BATFE and MA both have laws in place that require you to get a Gunsmithing FFL (specific class) and MA Gunsmith License . . . neither of which is possible in MA unless you operate out of a commercially zoned building.
did you stop to think for a minute that these courses might be partially subsidized by the company?
As someone who as owned Glocks on and off for years, and worked at two different FFLs fixing and tinkering with Glocks, spend your money somewhere else... $100 will get you a half case of 9 and range time!
