Some people also don’t give a dogs dick about renewing and carry anyway. Not the safest route, but they are out there.I'm sure that there many people who fall into this situation. Some from the old "good unless revoked" times, and others who just fell out of the sport and neglected to keep up on their permits.
Good advice above. Follow it. Good luck.
Gardner PD does.I don't know of anyone applying for an LTC or renewing(including expired), that has been asked if they currently own any guns.
my 2 cents
Posssession with an expired LTC is NOT a criminal offense (look it up), at most it is strictly a $$ fine! And it is not usually enforced except if the person talks themselves into it or a PD has a hair across their ass for you.
If you are still nervous, have a trusted friend hold them for you. NO transfers desired or required. And regarding the reply to give them to an FFL to hold for you, that FFL will NOT be legally allowed to give you back any handgun not on the EOPS List and AG Regs approved nor will you ever get back any AR or AK due to the AG's memo . . . so NOT a good idea!
Mike is right, just apply and keep your mouth shut. You might ask Mike to delete the thread.
Did you miss the part of MGL that only exempts those who had an active LTC on June 1, 1998? IIRC he said his expired in 1997, so he would indeed have to take a class.Only if the PD adds this ultra vires requirement.
Mine did.Only if the PD adds this ultra vires requirement.
You miss /sarc don’t you?There is so much bad advice in this thread. New England Ballistics bonded warehouse? Jesus Christ.
OP - just apply for your new LTC. It's that simple. You've stored your guns with friends since it expired so you have nothing to worry about.
Bad advice: can't loan guns interstate for non-sporting porpoises.And if OP can't keep from talking himself into trouble,
having a buddy from a free state come over to borrow them,
is even better.
Go ahead,and what is to say they are not being used, or going to be used for legitimate sporting purposes?
"oh I plan to go target shooting at MFL this weekend Officer !
as long as the person holding the guns does not carry them for self defense, or shoot someone with them, prove beyond a reasonable doubt they were not loaned for target shooting or hunting.
This - put in the renewal and don't let the naysayers here get you worked up.Just be quiet and renew, don't say shit. You picked a hell of a time to renew. I take pp or venmo, i just saved you 200-500 bucks.
BTW the OP has not logged in since 4 hours after his original post on tuesday
OP gone to jail?BTW the OP has not logged in since 4 hours after his original post on tuesday
non-sporting porpoises
jail? nah. he just found out the non-sporting porpoises don't have fingers or opposable thumbs so post is moot.OP gone to jail?
you're crushin' it this morning mr. reptile!CONFIRMED!!!
This. Just apply and stop worrying about it. I was in pretty much the same situation at one point. No one cares, just do it.Just be quiet and renew, don't say shit. You picked a hell of a time to renew. I take pp or venmo, i just saved you 200-500 bucks.
