Orange is Green.
Athol is Red.
Athol is Red.
I have Athol listed as green? Can you tell me of the experience? Can elaborate on Orange as well?
Stoughton is no longer green.
One of my students (34yrs old, clean record, first time applicant) was told by the licensing officer that Stoughton no longer gives out LTC ALP for first time applicants.

Boylston looks green right now...
Hi All, New to the board. Grew up in OH, and am still trying to adjust to the absurd laws here in MA.
Wife and I took the safety course at the WPRC in town, and just got back from the Boylston PD. Application was submitted as Class A, ALP. No hassles or issues, and the Sargent is a really reasonable guy. I don't think once submitted, that any changes will occur, but I will follow up in March when I have the License in hand.
Ironic that Boylston abuts Worcester to the west, land of rare ALP issues... but it seems all the surrounding towns seems to compensate for the scarcity of ALP LTCs in Worcester.

When it comes time for renewal they can.
My second post in this thread..
Fiancee interviewed with Chief Wynn here in Pittsfield and was promised an LTC-A No Restrictions. This is in addition to mine - so two marks for Pittsfield being green.

And the old Pttsfield chief is now in Falmouth IIRC, which doesn't represent much of a change for Falmouth.
No problem at all in Orange. There were no extra forms, no Dr. note. I don't remember exactly how long it took, but I'm very impatient and don't recall being annoyed, so it couldn't have been much more than a month. Unrestricted Class A
dunno why its stated as green on the first page still [confused]
Why is Natick in the red? Has anyone had troubles in Natick? I had no problems at all myself. Have not heard of any hassles on Natick with Class A. My GF is going to be applying shortly. I sure hope she does not have any problems there.

Natick, from stories here, sometimes issues ALP, sometimes does not. It really seems to depend on the mood of the Chief. (Red towns still issue LTC-A, they just tend to be restricted, or at the very least, dont igve out ALP with any regularity)
Hmm, first I have heard of any issues in Natick. Thanx.
There's a new COP and all new Detectives in Melrose and it is still green. I got my LTC-A for ALP in exactly 61 days.
Wondering if New Acting COP in Holbrook will affect LTC-A
As a result, William D Marble Jr has been appointed Acting Police Chief." I wonder if anyone had any insight about the change or if policies usually remain in a situation with an acting chief like this. Any thoughts?
Hi guys. I'm new here and would like to apply in Holbrook for my LTC A and was pleased to read of Glide's experience in Holbrook as a green town. However, I just read the PD website and it reads that "Chief Jonathan Cordaro will be out on extended injury leave.

Your best bet IMHO is to go ask the new chief. I wouldn't think much would change, it is better to ask them. Can't hurt.
I went this past summer and got ALP in the mail 13 days later. After talking to a few people at surrounding clubs not everyone walked out with an ALP during the same time frame.
So it may be a hit or miss situation.
Overall it was a good experience with the LEO throughout the application process.
Lunenburg green. Unrestricted LTC-A. Only hoops to jump through were 3 letters of reference. The Lt. who handles licensing is a great guy, very supportive of citizens' rights.
+ 1. I applied for an LTC - A without a problem. Everyone in my family has had equally favorable experiences. Millis is solidly Green.
Just a note, you might run into a problem getting a Class B here. I don't have any experience with it, but I heard from an instructor at a local shooting range that due to confusion about carry restrictions arising from Class B licenses some Issuing Authorities, including Millis, prefer to just issue Class A. But even if that's true, this is a "good problem" at worst.

Woburn may be black.
One of my students (28 year old, clean record) just informed me of the following:
- Chief will only grant Class A, restricted to hunting/target practice. Only law enforcement and business owners are eligible for the unrestricted.
- In addition, one must complete a 20-question "quiz,".
The quiz concept is new to me.
