Moving to Lowell

[Scotia902]

I'm moving from Boxborough to Lowell

I have my LTC with no restrictions.

Other than notifying both police chiefs in writing are there any other rules I need to follow?

Can the Lowell Chief try to give me restrictions ?

 

[71montess]

Why ?

 

[RumRunner]

Sorry to hear

 

[rcwhat]

He won’t try, he will upon renewal

 

[one-eyed Jack]

My condolences. Jack.

 

[Frizzle Fry]

Don't?

 

[FrankNA]

Sharpen your shooting skills now...

 

[Asaltweapon]

There has to be a better option than moving there.

 

[bigpick]

Why ?

Was the first thing I thought too.

 

[daekken]

RIP in Peace.
Since Lowell doesn't own the license he can't impose restrictions until renewal (Boxborough owns the license).

Good luck on fighting restrictions when you do renew.

Mine was, "Poor bastard!"

Maybe because it isn't Lawrence?

You may not get restrictions on renewal in Lowell. They have a process now (as convoluted as it is) for first time folks to get unrestricted right off the bat. I originally had a restricted LTC from Lowell, but jumped thru their hoops and had it changed to unrestricted. I don't know what their track record is concerning placing restrictions on a formally unrestricted LTC. I don't think they do, as I have not heard a cry from folks about that happening, just the cries on how it is near impossible to get unrestricted on the initial application.

Also, they do have a new CoP and I am not sure if he is as bad as the previous CoPs.

it's temporary hopefully. I do not plan to be in Mass when my renewal is up. The plan is NH or Maine

 

[Mr.E]

you're so close to NH already, and well, Lowell is kind of a dump if you hadn't noticed. If it wasn't for the campus it would be a lost cause.

Is Chelmsford an option? Can get pretty close to Lowell if need be

Theres a new apartment complex on mill road that looks like it has vacancies right off rt3 and about 5 minutes from the connector.

Chelmsford > Lowell in just about every way

 

[Scotia902]

moving because we needed more space with baby number 2 on the way. Lowell is closer to my work and getting home at 7:30 and leaving the house at 6:30am everyday kind of sucks, my drive to the office will be a bit over 7 miles now.

as of now I'm mostly at the office and ont in Boston which is great

Moving to Lowell is tough on your gun rights and it is not a good city safety wise education wise or anything else wise. We are not picking on you, just that hellhole.

 

[Horrible]

Lowell is like 4 miles from the NH border. Just sayin'

 

[watchman]

Lowell really??? Boxborough is a real nice town can't at least stop at Chelmsford?

Your auto insurance is going to go to the moon.

 

[millcity]

If the cost of living in Chelmsford isn’t almost double what Lowell is I’m sure OP would move there instead. I agree Lowell is a dump but it’s affordable for some.

Yes, per MGL you MUST notify (by Certified Mail ONLY) the issuing chief, the new town chief AND FRB of your move.

Why ?

This.

Don't?

Definitely this.

Annnddd this is the final answer.

 

[slap shot]

Just move again before you renew.

Wear a Kakadu duster with three holsters on each side plus double shoulder rig, both ankles, mexican carry, and two iwb. GTG.

Len has what you need to do to satisfy the law. I always tell my students that once to get your LTC do nothing to jeopardize it. By moving to Lowell you will lose some of your rights. Just so you are aware.

Lowell has their own list of approved “concealed carry” courses. They will lift restrictions if you take one of these courses. The Course approval process includes a review of the curriculum and a visit to the training facility.
