I have a MA Class A LTC/ALP, moved to a "bluer" area a couple years ago (filing all the proper forms of course), and it is time to renew. Everyone I talk to says it's impossible to get ALP in this area, and that they only issue ALP to people with the power of arrest and in some cases buisness owners (but they really have to jump through hoops to get it). They say my LTC/ALP will be renewed as "target & hunting", thus not allowing me the right to carry a firearm.
I've been working this area in a public service type fashion for 7 or 8 years, have gotten to know the area very well and have gotten to know several of the LEOs, though I hear that it won't help my situation. Guess I should have known the gun laws before movig, huh? Durr.
Anyhow, I went to MassGunLaw.com and read somewhere that I should write a letter saying why I am a good candidate for ALP.
Would it be too pretentious to start off writing letters, etc.? Should I just apply, hope for the best and address the problem when they offer me "target & hunting", or should I just go meet with the chief before I apply and say something like "hi chief, I heard a rumor that my LTC/ALP may be renewed as "target & hunting. What can I do to renew it as is?"
Help! I can't believe this may happen to me!
TIA
