How do one get a Machine Gun license in mass

[richc]

How many times do I have to shout this from the rooftops?

GO ASK THEM!

I think we often avoid a conversation like this because we may not get the answer we want. Psychologically no one wants to hear the answer "NO", and perhaps have the LEO looking at you like you have two heads. Kinda like avoiding asking someone for a date because they might say no. Why put your ego at risk?

For many it is just easier to get the answer back channel.

FYI that is one reason good sales people can make a ton of dough. They expect to hear no, and their job is to turn the no into a yes. That is hard to do, but when done well it is a thing of beauty!

Cheers,

Rich

One thing I will add, as it seems you are fairly new to the "NFA world" do a good amount of research BEFORE you go see the PD. You don't want to go in having a "speach" set in your mind, only to get hung up when he starts asking "unexpected" questions. Don't wanna look like a boob when you are asking to buy MG's...

Thanks for the advice

Thanks for the advice

MG's are great, always nice to see folks interested in getting into them... If you haven't found it there is an NFA board on this site, here

I'd also suggest: http://subguns.com/boards/

I didn't know about the board, will check it out, Thanks for the link!

One would hope that nobody in their right mind would issue the MG license without being willing to sign the forms. But, sadly, in this state... yours is probably wise advice

In Mass, you never know. When asked to sign off on a second MG, the COP could say "One is enough". Jack.

It's important for all those out there that want to get a MG license to realize that the cheapest MG they can get is going to be around $3,000, for a SWD M11/9. The average AR-15 conversion goes for around $10,000 and AK-47s can go for $14,000. Uzis are a steal at $6,000. The license without the MG is kinda a hollow victory. You might as well save the $100 unless you are going to buy a MG.

Damn you and your reality.

I got my MG license a couple of months ago. I went with the C & R collector route. Never met with the chief, his secretary handled the whole thing. It was treated as a separate license. Only question the chief had was how the weapons would be secured, seemed a reasonable question to me. Approval was quick and without a hitch.
Good Luck
