Me and some of my friends are waiting or applying for ours. One of the guys is unemployed currently, and on page one of the application its asking for occupation and employers address, if they put down unemployed, will that mess up his application?

How long did your LTC-A take in your town???

Not at all, just put unemployed. They can't deny you because you don't have a job.
Under MGL they CAN deny you for the color of your hair! They don't need a reason at all.
That said, chiefs don't deny people merely because they are unemployed.
Fill it out, file it and don't worry about it.

Taunton is awesome 3 weeks for LTC-A no res.. clean record and your GTG. Truly a pleasure. Issuing officer is awesome to talk to and to deal with.
Groveland was 7 1/2 weeks but I think it was ready before my Birthday. I called the state and was told the card was active well before it expired is all they would say.
That's good to know, thanks.

Applied April 18th, recieved license today. 27 days total in Quincy
I'm in Westwood and can't even get anyone at the PD to return a phone call to schedule an appointment. It has been over 2 months since I started trying. I heard they are busy with applications, but that shouldn't prevent someone from returning a call! Any other Westwood people here?
My take is a lot of towns are taking a long time to get people back in for interviews after they submit there applications.More towns also are issuing without restrictions.I recently waited 7 weeks after submitting the paper work in Hudson for the interview.And i got the LTC unrestricted about 2 weeks after the interview.What i was told is they only do interviews 2 days a week.Also there are more people applying now to.We really had a very nice chat about it in detail.I also was given the LTC unrestricted which is a real plus considering i have had a restricted LTC for 35 years in Hudson.I also brought the 35 years up as a point.Basically it was a very good interview and they are very gun friendly now.Much better than years past.All i can say is i wish you luck.Go down there in person and talk to them about getting in for your interview.And after that it wont take long after you get in.Showing up in person is better than makeing a phone call to them

Clinton Cashed my check! Its been about 6 weeks now. So is this a sign? Any experience on how much more time?
I had my appt. prints everything done 6 weeks ago still waiting. It took my GF 2 months awhile back.
If you had prints done it must be your first license? Maybe thats why so long.I know right after the Hudson PD interviewed me and my wife recently we had the license in 2 weeks and 3 days.We have also had LTCs for years.But this time it did take around 7 weeks to get the interview to.They told me there short handed and more people are trying to get LTCs to.So that must be the case in Clinton to now maybe.
I called the FRB today they said they have my app and it should be approved today or tomorrow he said I should see the License next week!
That's assuming the PD doesn't sit on it for a month or so.

That's pretty good - turnaround time and result. Did the licensing officer/COP indicate that this is the new normal?
He indicated that it was based on current volume. He said that things had just gotten busy, before the end of Feb there was a 2 month turnaround.

Her FID came in today
The process really started on 3/17 when they wouldn't take the application - 73 days or about 10 weeks
From the interview it was only 33 days

Clinton MA it took 7 weeks no wait for interview. interview/fingerprints on April 10th got my LTC May 29th No res. Bought a Glock 26 on May 30th.
First post here, but been lurking for awhile. Lots of great info on here!
I've been checking with the DCJIS by phone once a week, paperwork and interview completed 4/24. 41 days so far.
Just off the phone just now: "Pending review by licensing officer." Which is the same status as it was in early May. I spoke with the firearms officer two weeks ago, who stated he was still waiting for the CoP to sign off on the application - which he stated was going to happen sometime last week.
I'm trying to be patient, but I've got a little bit of money saved up that's starting to burn a hole in my pocket.![[thinking]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/010.gif "Thinking [thinking]")

Its brutal I know... My GF had hers before me and we got her a Shield. The best thing I did was have her Sign up as a member at Mass Firearms School in Holliston.
Once your a member you can rent any of the number of guns they have (and they have alot) for free. I shot every caliber and every handgun almost every weekend until I got my LTC. It was fun and helped me make a educated decision on what I wanted for a firearm and what worked best for me.
