I recently moved to a slightly Urban town in Massachusetts.
It is colored "Red" on the "Guide to gun rights in your Massachusetts town".
"Bold Red May Issue and/or are difficult to obtain a "Class A" "All Lawful Purposes" usually give out restricted such as "Sport and Target""
I took the Basic Pistol Cert. Class and received my certificate at my local instructors location.
The instructor confirmed that my town does not give out "All Lawfull Purposes" Class A LTC licenses.
I stopped by the local Police department Licensing office this morning and she scheduled for me to come in at the soonest time available (in November!) to fill out the paperwork with her (she does not give out the licensing packet apparently, I have to come in November and fill it out with her?) and she stated it will be restricted to "Target and/or Hunting" only.
Now, I am not looking to make a big deal over this, nor am I looking to be a trouble-maker in my fine town. Also, I really DO NOT see myself carrying my fire-arm often if ever!
But it just sort of bothers me that I am unable to prove to my fine town that I am a man of such strong moral character, that I can be trusted with an "Unrestricted" license.
How can I prove that I can be trusted to adhere to all lawfull purposes in the safe handling of a firearm at all times?
I have the upmost respect for law enforcement in my town and would never want to be regarded as a "rabble rouser". Must I settle for a "restricted" Class A License?
If anyone has any recomendations and/or guidance and it involves any additional costs (lawyers fees, etc...) please outline the price of such an ordeal. I do not really see myself going through soemthing like that but I am curious...
If all else fails, Target and Hunting shall do...
