My search fu is bad today, so please bear with me while I confirm this is what I need to do. I have a LTC-A and a C&R. I'm moving from MA to NH.
For LTC-A, I need to use this form:
http://www.goal.org/Documents/frb_change_address.pdf
BUT only send it to the town I live in now, and to Chelsea, via certified mail. Can I do this the day after I have moved? I would assume the PD in NH don't need to know. And, on this form I still need to give my NH address even though it is outside the state?
And, C&R isn't really a MA issue, but I understand I need to use this form to notify BATF (by certified mail, I would assume):
http://www.goal.org/Documents/frb_change_address.pdf
AND send a copy of this form to the PD in NH with the usual letter explaining what I am notifying them of. AND, the MA PD don't need to know anything about this, right? I haven't found what time frame is required for doing this; can I do it right after I have moved? I have seen references to doing it before moving, but not on how far before moving. If the closing is messed up and I don't actually move, then I just notified them for no reason. So, I'd prefer the day after.
NH doesn't suck, so I'm all set on getting the resident carry permit after I have moved (I have a non-res NH permit now). But, it looks like the non-res MA permit is going to suck? I really have to make two drives into Chelsea in person? I'm a member of Harvard SC so I'll miss being unable to go there until I have this permit.
One more thing, is a locked pickup truck cap considered a suitable locked container for transport of all my guns and ammo between two states? I don't have enough trigger locks for all of them once I remove them from the safe, so they're just going to be in a big pile with cloth between them to protect them.
