Question about Tewksbury LTC policies

[KMaurer]

I checked the thread that's been collecting information on policies in various towns, and didn't see any feedback indicated for Tewksbury. I just did a class for a couple from Tewksbury earlier this evening and would like to be able to give them any information that might be available. Thanks.

  [*]Proof of Citizenship - i.e. Birth Certificate or Naturalization Is this a normal requirement? Not that I have a problem with it.

Per MGLs, LTCs can ONLY be issued to US Citizens. FIDs can be issued to Legal Aliens but only by MSP/CHSB, not by the local chief and they are issued for 1 year at a time for $100!!

So it is not unreasonable for a chief to require a copy of a birth certificate or naturalization papers on the initial issue of a LTC. In this case, he would be fulfilling his legal obligation to make sure that the LTC is only issued to US Citizens.

Resident LTC's. Temporary non-resident LTCs may be issued to non-citizens.

Rob, thanks for the clarification.

Yes, weirdly enough the restriction is ONLY if you live in MA and are not a US Citizen!

Another piece of brilliant wizardry by our esteemed legislature.

So, with the addition of the not burdensome or illogical proof of citizenship, we know that they make you do what's required. That still doesn't give much insight into whether they'll issue an LTC-A for ALP, or what sort of hoops one one needs to jomp through.

If you are applying for for protective use in the work place. You will need a Letter from your Employer.

Without any other information, I'd look at this as a tip off as to what they will "normally" issue.

Judging by the number and extent of syntax errors and other glaring mistakes, I would not expect any great grasp of logic, or even a comprehension of the fundamental precepts set forth in Glidden's book - assuming they even use it.

People who use capital letters like salt - "season to taste" and post incomplete sentences on public agency websites are clearly not concerned with detail and accuracy or are too ignorant to see even obvious errors.
