I talked to one of the people working at Collector's Gallery in Stoneham and asked him about the Stoneham policy on ALP. He said it was the only kind of permit they issued. I thought I would try my hand at renewing/upgrading and called the Stoneham PD, I talked to a woman there who seemed to think that:
1. They cannot reprint or modify the existing license (Like a lost or stolen license)
2. They cannot let me renew or reapply for the license early, they won't even allow it to be done 3 months in advance of license expiration.
She said she was going to make some calls and find out what could be done and then call me back.
It is my hope that.
1. They can replace the license at will by reporting it as lost or stolen and ordering a replacement
2. There is nothing stopping them from not printing the restriction on the license or modifying the database so the replacement license does not have that restriction.
3. There is no restriction on when you can reapply.
Can anyone give me any information I can give to them that would convince them it can be done?
There is nothing in Chapter 180 or the regulations concerning replacement licenses I have seen that pertain to modification of the restrictions section...
