Hello, first post here.
I am an active duty US Marine currently in IRAQ, my home station is Beaufort South Carolina. I have a SC concaled carry permit, but have orders pending for Nov to PCS me to Westover Air Reserve Base in MA. From what I have read MA has crazy gun laws compared to conservative SC. It is my understanding that my being issued a MA CCW permit is dependant on the chief law enforcement officer in the town.
WHAT TOWNS DO YOU ALL RECOMEND MOVING TO NEAR THE BASE? WHERE SHOULD I STAY AWAY FROM BECAUSE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IS VERY ANTI CCW?
Also from reading the laws, am I allowed to directly send my application to the state firearms board due to my being active duty military and already having a permit from another state? If so I'd rather go to the state firearms board than deal with the chief law enforcement officer wouldn't I? Also am I going to have to get a firearms lawyer just to get a darn class A CCW?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
