'dude: I would like to see where in the MGL it states that CCW is illegal. A Class A Permit clearly states that CCW is Allowed unless restricted by issuing authority, If the issuing authority did not want concealed carry they would place that as a restriction. OR issue a class B permit.
The hurdle for conviction on a restriction violation (MGL 141-131) is fairly high. Conviction is not required to revoke the LTC and the hurdle for proving the issuing authority's decision to revoke was arbitrary, capricious and an abuse of discretion is even higher.
Some issuing authorities may very well consider "target/sporting only" to preclude concealed carry; other may not.
I other words, YMMV and GLWT.
