NRA Gun safety course, how long is it good for?

[tjtoolbox]

A friend of mine went through a NRA gun safety course about 2 or 3 years ago. They want to apply foe a Class A License to carry. Is their Safety course still good to submit to their local PD for a license?
They live in Watertown, what are there chances of getting a Class A with No restrictions?
I welcome all of your Info.
Thanks, Joe.

There's no statute that specifies an "expiration date" but I have heard that the Chiefs in some towns will deny if the class is over a year old. I have no specific knowledge about Watertown.


Edit: Looks like Watertown is red:

Per MGL, it is good for life . . . but each chief can make his own decision.

Only way to know is to ask the chief/LO in Watertown if they will accept it.

It is very unlikely that Watertown will accept a certificate that old. He should speak with the licensing officer at Watertown PD and ask them about the old class.

If your friend needs to take a class have him call us and we will give him a steep discount (have him mention this thread on NES).

PS - They will not accept a NRA Diploma...he has to produce the state police certificate.

Have him call us and we will explain how to get an unrestricted license in Watertown (it is very difficult but not impossible).

This person has the NRA cert and the State Police Cert. I didn't know that they would have to go through so much BS. I told them to apply for a Class A , but would they be better off with a Class B , just to get their foot in the door?

No.

NO, NO, NO!

Rules and requirements are EXACTLY the same for Class A as Class B.

He'll just be pissing money down a sewer requesting a Class B, as that is all he'll get for his $100!
