Hello -
I'm starting to do my homework in preparatioin to obtain my first LTC in a small suburb west of boston. Amazing amount of information available -just not always clear/consistent.
I was hoping other forum members might lend their experience to answer a few questions I had... Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
Situation: I would expect to purchase a Beretta or Taurus 92 firearm and use it primarily for target/range shooting but would like to have the option for personal/home defense as well. I am a professional 34 year old with no disqualifying factors in my background.
- What are are my chances of being approved for an unrestricted Class A LTC given I cannot state any reasonable fear of personal harm/injury?
- If denied a Class A LTC, would they require a new application or simply issue a restricted Class A or B LTC at the time of thier initial decision?
- Does a Class B LTC allow me to purchase a high-capacity handgun such as a Beretta 92FS?
- Do I need to obtain a Permit to Purchase as well as a my LTC?
- Would it improve my application to take more than a simple 2-3 hour safety course?
- Should I become a member of a shooting club/range in advance of my application (I hear of people doing this but it seems like that's putting the cart before the horse).
