Non-resident CCW?
- Thread starter benl
- Start date
Congratulations on your process being so efficient. I wonder what the rhyme/reason is behind scheduling time-frames.
I submitted my renewal a little before you and ended up with an appointment next week....about 4 months out.
Hoping for unrestricted this year. If not, I'm going to pm you, lol. I have a friend looking to get his non resident ltc. He's on the border, so hopefully he can get it. I noticed the boxes this year to check off of for unrestricted, sport, employment, etc.
What about the calculus of one vs the other? Is carrying against restrictions even arrestable? (nobody's ever been able to verify this). I've also never heard of someone even getting fined for this, either. (not that it can't happen, just seems improbable, because getting your LTC canned is worse than that anyways. )

Mike,
I can confirm:
- NOT arrestable.
- Courts will not hear civil fine cases period! I've been told this by POs from Cape Cod to Lee, MA to the North Shore, so I think that you can take this to the bank.

I had my interview today. Really nice guy interviewing me. He confirmed and gave me a paper confirming that after 2020-2022 depending on your birthday, you only have to come in once every 6 years. So for instance if you bday is Jan- April your next interview would be in 2020, May-August 2021, and Sept -Dec 2022. You're following interview would be 6 years from that. Moving in a better direction, and hopefully I'll get unrestricted this year!

I had my interview in July and received an unrestricted in August. I did not receive any such paper or letter in regards to the interviews.
Any chance you could post it (of its not personal in nature)?

Letter sounds strange to me as Michaela told me that nothing changed and that was maybe a month ago.

Thank you for posting! That is certainly welcome news, and an improvement to the system.
I assume the personal interview was the major hurdle creating a backlog. Here's hoping this creates more of a reasonable waiting time!

It'll be a quasi victory as they will still be processing all those applicants annually, only the annual in-person interview is waived and done every 6 years. Net result is more people will apply that refused to due to the travel burden every year.
Let's hope the paperwork processing speeds up for NRs.

MA LTC Slowness for non-residents
Applied on 03/31/2016.
Got email with appointment date within a few weeks.
Interviewed and fingerprinted on 08/09/2016.
As of today 09/29/2016, I'm still awaiting my LTC.
This was a renewal of an unrestricted LTC. Not sure why the long holdup but it's never taken this long before. I was told during the interview that they have had an uptick of applicants that has caused a backup but that it should go right through now, since there were no changes and it was a renewal. My LTC expired the end of June so this is frustrating. It's bad enough that they make you drive to Chelsea and pay $100 every year but to have such ludicrously long delays and no grace period is ridiculous. Hopefully, the new one expires a year from when I receive it and not a year from when my previous LTC expired because I've been without it for 3 mo. already.

Last year I had to send an email because it was probably 6 weeks since I had my interview and nothing got sent. They 'resent' it after I sent the email and I came quickly after that. I'd send an email to the guy that schedules the interviews. If you got the guy I had this year, he gave me his card so I'd just email him.

This is huge. Now a non-resident permit is a practical consideration for people who don't have time to do an interview every year.
IMHO this is because people grew a pair and started getting these licenses and hammering on the renewals every year instead of being limpwrists about it. So basically gun owners caused this by creating an administrative nightmare for them to deal with. This was the only smart way for them to deal with that without the law actually changing. It should have been that way from day one.

My license expires in early 2017. So if I sent in my renewal application on Jan 1, what are the odds of receiving a replacement prior to expiration?
I would wager 0% and the ~6month wait is still in effect.

Mine expires end of November, I sent the renewal this week. My Interview end of February. Probably 4-8 week wait after the interview. Send the renewal 6 months ahead of time or you will be sorry!
