Especially in this climate.Glocks are specifically challenging in MA. There are ways to get them, but other than private sale or Gen 2, you're unlikely to learn how on a public forum...
Will be very good for the FFLs in Littleton who can start doing transfers again.
Those comments are really something.
I read only a few, made me sick. it’s so bothersome to be surrounded by such ignorance.
Other than the part-time one-person shops in your mill, these stipulations (ALL of which were presented by the AG) make a business untenable. They will lose more money by opening for 4 customers/hour than if they continue to stay closed.Never any mention of the gun shop owners needing to feed their families, pay their employees, pay their creditors, taxes, insurance, etc. just like other stores. Because the liberal Mass democrats hate guns, gun owners, and gun shops. May the rotten bastards fry in hell. Just my take. Jack.
4 appointments per hour, not 4 customer per hour.Other than the part-time one-person shops in your mill, these stipulations (ALL of which were presented by the AG) make a business untenable. They will lose more money by opening for 4 customers/hour than if they continue to stay closed.
It is a win . . . of sorts, but more symbolic than a practical win for business owners.
I am probably asking a dumb question, have only had my LTC for a few years. But I am not familiar with any of these FFLs in Littleton people keep mentioning. Are they just smaller one man shops?
If there is a thread i can be directed to even better.
Not a dumb question. One-Eyed-Jack here on the forum owns a Mill in Littleton at 410 Great Road. He had open spaces so he decided to start renting those spaces at a good price for new FFLs to rent so they could start their businesses. I think at last count there were over 50 FFLs in that mill. Most are one person FFLs that are selling here on NES, GunBroker, Armslist and are open for Transfers by appointment. There is a gun store also open in the Mill for foot traffic during nights and weekends I believe. It's a great place. EddieCoyle here on the forum also does classes on how to become an FFL as well as reloading classes there at the Mill.
A real noob overpays for beat up shiity 2nd generation G22. And smiles cause he has a Glock in MA. And then returns the high capacity mags that it came with to get 10 rounders. Ask me how I know.
Then he does some due dilligence and realizes he could have bought a brand new one cheaper.
Thats our consumer protection watchdog Maura helping you get 100 percent bent over and shafted from the get go.
To be fair (to be fairrrrr) it was not beat up and shitty. It was fully refurbished by Glock before I bought it. I paid $500 for it, which I was fine with.Fixed it to reflect reality of noobies.
UNfortunately for some reason I never felt the reason to pay for a membership to read the Globe onlineSurprisingly unbiased coming from the Globe...
Federal judge issues order allowing Mass. gun shops to reopen - The Boston Globe
A federal judge on Thursday issued an order allowing gun shops in Massachusetts to reopen, ruling that Governor Charlie Baker’s decision to shutter them along with thousands of other “nonessential” businesses infringed on the Second Amendment rights of those seeking to buy a firearm.www.bostonglobe.com
Just shows ypu the hubris of the state, asking for a stay on something they’re obviously legally in the wrong on....Federal judge, not state. State filed a motion to stay his order, but he denied that. Stores will open at High Noon on Saturday.
This, too. This weekend tire kickers should stay away from MA gun shops. Let the people who already know what they want in first. Some have been waiting over a month. Don’t be surprised if staff are terse about taking appointments for wafflers etc. Don’t be a waffler, buy with knowledge and intent, or stay home.Friendly word of advice: don't go to a gun store the very day they open up after an eight or so week hiatus. There's going to be a rush of people trying to get transfers out, new transfers done, new sales of people in a rush to buy a gun, and guys like you who are just getting into this.
If you really need a gun now, order one from an online vendor and have it shipped to your local FFL. That will at least hopefully ensure that you get what you want and you won't be staring at the counter in confusion.
...
Anyways, congrats Mass guys! Now go spend money
Search "The mill in Littleton directory". See post #6. Not up to date, but the link gives contact info for 41 of the FFLs. Jack.Thank you for the response and that clears up a few things for me. I will reach out to one of them for my next purchase.

Collectors, Four Seasons, and Steve's Tactical have announced that they aren't opening until Tuesday. Also, it's by appointment only, so there won't be any casual walk ins. I expect that in some places there will be people watching the stores to make sure that they comply with the court order.
Karens are everywhere.
Kinda. 6 of one 1/2 dz of the other. FS is open SAT just he is booked already. He is also creating a waitlist for cancellations. Check out his website or call the shop.
Small correction. I don't "own" the Mill, I have managed it for the owners for 22 years now. They let me do what I want, so I thought that a lot of FFLs would fit right in. Working great so far.
