Mass Firearms Licenses April 1, 2020

[mike1960]

Below is a link to the mass.gov showing current statistics on firearm licenses as of April 1, 2020.
Attached are two files I exported to clean up the data. One is a pdf file with all categories listed. The other is the Excel file with the data in a pivot table and a slicer added so you can parse the data to the category that interests you.

This is great information.

To make it even more interesting, it would be cool to see how many are restricted and what the percentage of restricted LTC's are.

 

[Mesatchornug]

Less than 0.5% of Class A holders have MG licenses.

For such a small community, Littleton sure seems to have a lot of firearms and ammo vendors licenses.
Why is that?

WE'RE FULL UP...NOW GO AWAY!

Thanks a lot. My bird Megan would be offended by that. LOL. Jack.

More like Delphi

An interesting table would be license count normalized by adult population

 

[free]

Royalston MA 498 Households 308 gun owners (that bother to get their LTC ) ....over 60%! Break into a house in Royalston and there is a very real risk you won't be walking away

State of MA is about 20% in comparison.

Where do you get this data, and conclusions? Also, beyond your questionable conclusion and numbers in the first place, there can be more than one license holder in a household, so 60% of households are not necessarily armed.

My apologies to Megan.
Give her a few grapes and some head scritche's from me.

 

[Broc]

I'm one of the 9180 in Boston.

Also, 13 licensed to own a machinegun, only one licensed to sell. Damn.

Boston seriously needs to pump those numbers up, at least on the LTC.

I'm working on it. Had a student recently who will be applying soon.

My neighbor applied, a week before his interview everything closed due to COVID19. He is calling them every other week, they keep telling him they are going in order and will call him soon. Total BS.

I believe it.

I agree I am going to try to find an accepted estimate of adult population per capita use the online census information then build a pivot table off of that. And my wife says I am no fun

Ugh... there are 33% more machine gun licences in freakin' CAMBRIDGE than in Billerica.

 

[milktree]

How does Canton still have 13 LTC-Bs still? Did they force everyone into an LTC-B and those are the last who haven't had to renew?

probably something like that. IIRC, 2014 was the last year for Bs, so those folks should be freed when they renew this year...assuming Canton doesn't "forget" to fix it for them.

I was going to post that I knew 3 guys in my town with the MG licnses.
I look at the table. Looks like they are the only 3 in town with them.
I know where I'm going to hide when SHTF.

Why does MIRCS even have the option the menu anymore?

Probably LE, 07/SOT dealers and those "connected". Jack.

That's a good point. I've never been on that side of the machine, maybe they removed it from the system. IIRC they did take it off the state's application. This seems like something @Comm2A or @GOAL might be keeping an eye on?

Thank you!

Would having your 07/SOT make it easier to get a green card?

Its a good list.. I wish it showed how many restricted
