I'm not sure if this belongs here or should go in the MA law section so mods please feel free to move if appropriate. I was talking with my brother in law today who just picked up his LTC-A renewal from his local PD. Upon inspection he recognised that his license number changed. Is this common practice? Do they update the registration database with his new number or are his guns registered to a license that no longer exists? It didn't make any sense to me why they would change his license number upon renewal - seems like more work for the state police. Does this happen with all renewals?
