LTC-A PD Approved. Pending FRB.

[ColePatrol]

I recently contacted FRB and my LO in Haverhill, MA. FRB states I was approved by Haverhill PD. The LO in Haverhill said approved LTC-A with no restrictions.

My question is currently it is "Pending Approval" via FRB...at this point does the FRB cross check to make sure the PD did all background checks and double make sure I am a qualified individual? Also, if the PD did not set any restrictions does the FRB have the power to override that?

Thanks!

Welcome to NES!

Yes.

Also, if the PD did not set any restrictions does the FRB have the power to override that?

No.

 

[ColePatrol]

Thanks! I know its on a case by case basis but how long does the FRB review take?

I'm so antsy!!!! Purchased a Bodyguard .380 but cannot pick it up until I receive my license : (

 

[Kevlar]

Anecdotal evidence suggests approximately two week turn-around from the FRB to the PD.

However, the time table for receipt and activation by the PD varies greatly by municipality.

The process is explained in detail here: http://www.northeastshooters.com/vb...ws/155593-ma-ltc-fid-application-process.html

Glad to hear Haverhill is still actively granting LTC-A no restrictions.
Enjoy

Congrats. When you go to pick up your purchase, make sure you bring your PIN, just in case!

 

[ColePatrol]

Thanks! What happens if PD mails it? Do they set a pin for you?

Just received my DeSantis IWB holster ; )

IIRC the PD won't mail your permit as they will want you to sign it in their presecene - I think the PIN came in a letter that was with the permit.

Congrats BTW - happy shooting!

Yes,

There is always the chance someone might get a hair across their arse at the last minute and deny on suitability

Wow. Talk about resurrecting an old thread.

Tip off should have been the "LTC-A" in the header. LTC-A no longer exists and hasn't for some time.

Not sure if serious, A still exists, B is gone.

I stand corrected. "Class A Large Capacity License to Carry Firearms". The old distinction between A and B must be the "Restrictions" line on the license.
Thank you drgrant for the clarification.

I've not seen a newer B in the flesh in recent history but I thought they both had a restrictions box on them. Not that it mattered so much with a B given its inherently crippling limitations at the time.

Yeah, no.

A Class B license shall entitle a holder thereof to purchase, rent, lease, borrow, possess and carry: (i) non-large capacity firearms and feeding devices and ammunition therefor, for all lawful purposes, subject to such restrictions relative to the possession, use or carrying of such firearm as the licensing authority deems proper; provided, however, that a Class B license shall not entitle the holder thereof to carry or possess a loaded firearm in a concealed manner in any public way or place; and provided further, that a Class B license shall not entitle the holder thereof to possess a large capacity firearm, except under a Class A club license issued under this section or under the direct supervision of a holder of a valid Class A license at an incorporated shooting club or licensed shooting range; and (ii) rifles and shotguns, including large capacity rifles and shotguns, and feeding devices and ammunition therefor, for all lawful purposes; provided, however, that the licensing authority may impose such restrictions relative to the possession, use or carrying of large capacity rifles and shotguns as he deems proper.​

 

[appraiser]

the Class B was effectively eliminated when the State told Medford and others to stop "B Ramming" applicants, and finally by a change in law that eliminates it from the books as an option

When did/does the B license fade away I know the effective date of the law is close

Somewhere here Len has a chart that shows all the steps that the application goes thru. Jack.

Not sure if this has been answered because I don't know all the acronyms. I called for my status and it said my local PD approved and am waiting on approval from the state. What does this mean and does anyone know the general turnaround time? Just curious!

 

[bottle-cap]

Could be few weeks to several months.

Unfortunately, they often don’t play by the established rules.

There are tons of threads on this topic here on NES.

I called the FRB about a month ago and they said it would be 40-60 days. But, their website says they are processing applications that were submitted by local PDs between 12/25 and 1/7, so it seems like their backlog is smaller now. You can call them to check the status of your application.

i bugged the shit out of the FRB and and I can't necessarily say it helped but from application submission to LTC in hand was only like 60-70 days (wilmington)

Thanks for everyone's replies! I called and they said it is awaiting activation now so just remaining in purgatory! haha.
