Pittsfield.. Got mine in the mail yesterday, Interview and prints done Dec 13. rushed up to Petes Gun Shop in Adams and picked up a Smith and Wesson M&P 9, which i've been eyeballing for quite a while now. Great, great, gun. Very happy camper here. Was starting to doubt it would even come.

Try a phone call or a written letter. Those usually turn out better than an email, for some reason

As of March 19, 2012 the FRB is currently approving and printing licenses that were submitted for review by police departments in the first week of March (February 27th - March 3rd).

Department of Criminal Justice Information Services (DCJIS)

15 weeks it took Fall River. LTC-A no restrictions.

I've submitted my LTC-A 5 weeks ago in Foxboro and have heard nothing yet.

Just hit 9 weeks for Leominster (no updates to the DCJIS website or the LO's voice mail message yet today).

A friend just applied in Foxboro. He took the class a week before Christmas and filed his application Dec. 19. He was told that he would need to talk to the COP. A week later, the COP calls to tell him that he has to come in, and schedules a meeting at 5 PM on Jan 6th. Yesterday, my friend gets a call from the COP asking if he can brings copies of his paperwork when he comes in...because they lost his application.

Fortunately, my friend did keep copies of everything(I'm surprised they didn't want originals). Anyway, he goes in for his interview, and the COP tells him that they only issue restricted permits, but that if my friend comes back in a year, hasn't gotten into trouble, and provides "sufficient" logs of range time, then he can be upgraded to unrestricted. COP says they do it all the time, it's standard procedure, blah blah blah.

This sounds like a total runaround to me. Makes me glad my experience was better than this. At least I'll get more range time with my friend.

This gels with what a classmate from Foxboro told me who was going for his renewal. He told me they only issued him a LTC-B when he first applied (even though he applied for LTC-A) but they might consider the LTC-A the longer time goes on???? However, the guy didn't seem to have much interest in the LTC-A because he was only using for firing range and home protection.

It finally came!!!

15 weeks to the day in Pittsfield.

I picked up a Ruger Mk III Comp and an SR9c in two tone. Between finding the license in my mailbox and leaving the store: 80 minutes. It would have been sooner but it's a 20 minute drive .

Well, I got some cleaning to do, then hopefully off to the range. Oh, and update my sig.

Very true. And now my hands are killing me from disassembling that Mark III a few times. Hopefully I can get to the range tomorrow.

"As of March 28, 2012 the FRB is currently approving and printing licenses that were submitted for review by police departments in the third week of March (March 11th - March 17th)."

Hopefully this means mine has been printed.

Haha, I know what you mean, the first time I took it apart my hands had a few cuts on them and were just beaten up. Haven't done it again yet, waiting to put a few thousand more rounds through it to loosen it up

 

[Chris2388]

[jamis]

67 days/9.5 weeks total (as of tomorrow). Seemed like forever.

 

[Rancho]

damn man! mine took 2 weeks in Lancaster. Congrats to all of you newly licensed people!!!

 

[Bostoned]

If the town cashes your check, is that any use in trying figure out when you might hear about your ltc?

No, doesn't mean anything. Checks are cashed anywhere from immediately, to months later...sorry.

 

[SSW]

Got the call and picked up mine today, 9 weeks and 1 day in Lynn. LTC-A no restrictions.

 

[CEC42909]

Went in to ask for a interveiw in august, was given a date in January Got the call today 9 weeks 5 days Dartmouth MA. Bought a Remington 870 supermag.

 

[Rider]

Well, my friend in Foxboro finally got his ticket in the mail last Friday. LTC A, Restrictions: Target and Hunting. Total time: 4 months from first application(where they lost his app, etc), 11 weeks from interview/printing/paying.

Now he can go to the range and begin 'documenting' his prowess with a handgun in order to get the restrictions removed.

The upshot to this is that since he won't be carrying initially, we can dispense with the mini-guns and go right to a 1911.

Peabody

Dropped off application at 630PM Wednesday, got a phone call 815AM Thursday to come in and get picture/prints done. Was told straight up they dont issue All Lawful Purposes - "its our policy"

Said approximately 8-9 weeks "due to the state being slow"

We will see.

 

[dannyac]
