We all know how that will turn out carrying concealed on a sporting restriction. I know I don't do it. Worcester may think 1 thing, and Medway will think another. Not worth it.
I agree about Worcester having a bigger population. I just wish they were listed. I'd be curious to know what the numbers are.
TW, having restrictions on an LTC may grant you to carry concealed but I can almost guarantee that if you ever had to use your CCW when you shouldn't have had it on you to begin with , I don't think that will play out well in court. I met a guy who had restrictions and he told me he sometimes leaves his range bag in the trunk and CC's. That really isn't a good idea but he didn't want to hear it. Best option is trying to lift those stupid ****ing restrictions and if you have them already, I'd tread lightly if you think you can legally carry.

Exactly. That was my point. Your issuing city or town may say you can carry, but the best option is to not do it. Period.
Thanks for sharing. The top 25 are so hick .
Before anyone breaks out the tar and feathers, I should clarify my point which was clearly not received the way it was intended. I was not supporting restrictions as valid or as something you should experiment with. My point was that, for the purposes of the story, any LTC A allows you to carry. Talking about restrictions, for purposes of what will likely be a 2 minute 30 second piece on the 11:00 news would lead listeners down a confusing rabbit hole. Does a restricted LTC A allow you to carry anywhere you are legally permitted anytime you want? Of course not. Does that matter in a story where you're talking about gun ownership? Probably not. Especially not when (as someone already pointed out) most of these towns on the list don't issue restricted licenses or even LTC Bs in many cases.
If you have a restricted LTC A, yes, you got screwed and I am sorry and angry for you. And no, you shouldn't test its boundaries unless you're prepared to burn stacks of your own cash in a legal case.
I gotcha. I totally understand with what you are saying. I was really looking forward to the tar and feathers though. I'm not going to lie.
Don't worry, man. Everybody knows we've got more guns off the books in the Berks than the rest of the state has on and off combined.
You'd have a hard time finding enough tar or feathers. I've got a lot of surface area to cover.
You're assuming that the link you posted is only referring to LTC-As. In the description is talks about how many people have a gun license. That leads me to believe it includes (at least) LTC-As and LTC-Bs, if not also FID.
Hmm all the towns around me are on the list, but Sutton is absent.

I also like how on the very 1st page it says, "With an LTC A a person can carry a weapon concealed."
Really? Since when? Forget about restrictions ass bag??
I realize that. However, it shows may more "Gun Licenses" per town than the 2012 data, which leads me to believe that the 2010 data is all-inclusive while the new data is limited to LTC-As. That's the distinction that I'm trying to get people to realize.

No, we don't, actually. It depends on the situation/location and whether or not the LEO examining your permit is an a**h*** or not. To many, an LTC is an LTC is an LTC.... to others, like that lady in lowell that said she would point guns at non LEOs carrying guns, chances are there will be problems. Mileage likely varies!

This brings up an interesting line of discussion. Does anyone know of any cases where someone on a restricted license used the weapon in SD (presumably outside of their restrictions)? If so, were additional charges added?
What charges would they add? It's not a criminal violation! It's an administrative one, for which they can revoke the LTC, and presumably, assess some monetary fine (which I've never heard of).
