I took a class at MFS and there was no sweeping. It was a large class. I would recommend the course to others.
if that was what you expected, why did you go to one of the largest training centers in the state? the requirement to get "training" is just additional bullshit to dissuade people from applying for LTCs. if you want real, actual training you need to seek out someone individually or hit up a place such as the sig academy.
"If they're interested in shooting, a .22 long rifle isn't going to do it," said Finnerty.
"If they expect to use a gun for self defense, .22 long rifle isn't going to do it,"
"When you're done with my class you know how to shoot," said Finnerty. He brings a variety of firearms that he allows students to use, include 9 mm, and .38-, .40- and .45-caliber guns.

That guy sounds friggin' shady.
Yeah, I saw him in a movie once. He gets his guns delivered in paper bags out of the trunk of a car.
I apologize for that...we will make sure that never happens again as that does not reflect our policy.
really??? kind of makes a mockery of the rule "never point a gun at something u do not intend to kill", or the one that says "a gun is NEVER unloaded"
It took me more than a month to get my appointment with my police department. Danforth explained that the firearm licenses used to be granted for life, and when they changed the law in 1998 to require renewals, it required a large group of gun owners who have to get their renewals in the same year. The number of years between renewals has changed several times; it currently is six years, and 2013 is one of the years that group needs to be renewed.
do you really need to bring your birth certificate for your LTC? that seems a little bit excessive.
Birth certificates not required for EBT card applications.do you really need to bring your birth certificate for your LTC? that seems a little bit excessive.
The dude misquoted me (I know - shocking):
I never said that. What I said was more like this:
He also made it sound like I don't use any .22 in my classes. I do. Lots of it. When the students are done shooting the with the .22s, I graduate them, then I break out the centerfire stuff and invite them to shoot with me. I go through more than 2000 rounds in a typical class, less than half of which is rimfire.
If there's a Basic Pistol class out there where students can shoot as much as they do in my class, I haven't seen it.
Incidently, if anyone knows somebody who wants to take a class, I have two spots open for a class I'm doing in Ayer, MA next week. PM me for details.
What a piss poor article!!!
Grand Finale to the story:
Buying gun in Mass. not quick deal - Sentinel & Enterprise
While at the police station on another matter last Monday, I ran into Theresa Danforth, firearms-licensing clerk for the Leominster Police Department. She told me my license to carry a firearm had arrived and would be mailed out shortly.
On Tuesday, she left a voicemail on my phone saying it was in the mail. When I received it Thursday the postmark had Wednesday's date.
