Lol good luck to them on that because the licenses aren't invalid. If a LEO bothered to search the LTC it will still show as valid. I would be shocked if anyone even got
charged with it.
There's even one MA PD even telling people this if they're moving out- "your existing license is good till it expires, then you have to get a non-resident one. "
This whole "your resident license dies when you move out of MA thing" is a left over Gliddenism or some kind of mental ejaculation from someone at EOPS. Someone "iwshing" it to be
that way doens't make it so. No different than the AG "wishing" that a rifle compliant with the as written MA AWB is an "assault weapon" by her "wish".
Because if the licenses were invalid, they'd actually be expiring them in the computer when they get the COA for a non MA address. That isn't happening and hasn't happened in
years. I am pretty sure if there was a legal basis for axing the LTCs, EOPS would be doing it. I've spoken to 3 people who moved out and ratted themselves out with a COA to EOPS/FRB and old issuing town. their LTCs all still passed validation on the portal months after moving out and notifying. I wouldn't be shocked if that has bsaically been the trend for a
decade, it's just that we don't get a lot of data because most people when they move out flip a nutty and throw their LTC into a shredder somewhere.
