MA Cannon license

[flippinfleck]

$1500 total for a day and a half with your customers glad to pay it .... I'd be running as many as I could fill.

Right?

I choked on my scotch when I saw the per-person price tag. Then I wondered what the requirements for a training location would be.

@FSTC What are the location requirements to do such an event?

 

[Bearcatbirddog]

I would be interested

 

[JackOfAllTrades]

I can't wait until the expose in the Globe about the sudden uptick in people seeking their cannoneers license.

That said, were I still in Massachusetts I would be signing up as well.

 

[07Mustang]

I’m in

 

[maritz01]

Imagine going to my wife explaining the need comparing to the want.

Haven't met your wife but I'll give it the old college try.

Told my wife and she laughed. Said the neighbors already hate me so whatever.

 

[kalash]

I told my wife I want a cannon for the front yard. She thought it was hilarious. She also knows I've been trying to get that license and she's on board.

Sounds like her response. Here in DeSantis Land I could probably get a 75mm without anyone blinking an eye. Well maybe again my neighbors.

Go ahead, buy it. You only need to license when you want to fire it.

I know but what's the point of having a cannon if you can't fire it??

Baby steps. "Hun, we have the cannon. Might as well be able to legally shoot it. Don't cha think?"

I would be so in for this!

Oh, she's on board with me getting the license so I can fire it.

Speaking of which, where does one fire a cannon? I imagine that anything small, like 50cal, might be fine at the gun club, but what about bigger stuff?

 

[Amerry223]

I'm interested in the cannon class whenever details are finalized.

For live fire? Pretty much any gun club or sand pit. It is vitally important NOT to skip the 4lb ball of lead off the berm though..

 

[Keithg]

FSTC - I have my MA cannon license already and would gladly offer to help you with your class in April/May. I can't sign any forms for another 4 years.

 

[theconverted]

In!

Mine is the first, or third in that picture.

 

[RumRunner]

Don't know when it was or how I missed it but it there's another one I'd be in. @EddieCoyle

Same here. I need one

 

[PATRON]

What we need to fire is this bad boy,it's an original cannon from Old Iron Sides.

 

[MisterHappy]

?

I think you're missing the point

 

[Broc]

I told my wife I want a cannon for the front yard. She thought it was hilarious. She also knows I've been trying to get that license and she's on board.

I have a spot in my living room for one pointing at the front door.

I have been slacking and always end up buying a different gun instead of a cannon. I am going for a decent size cannon, at least 3' barrel.

The wife says YES every time I bring it up, I don't think she understands what I am talking about.

 

[oldguy68]

Count me in!

Actually has less recoil than a 40, not as snappy
.

 

[SMXBlackwood]

In times 2 ,wife also, for the class.
Next, I need to find something to fire. Another cannon group buy?

A good size bore for recreational shooters is 2 1/4. That way you have billiard balls, 7oz soda cans filled with concrete, or downrigger lead weights as ammunition options.
