I'll be applying for my LTC for the first time in Medford, and I'd like some advice on what to put in the "Reason for Issue" box of the application.
I've been a shooter for a few years, mainly pistol/rifle target shooting and trap shooting, but always with other people's guns. I've been looking to get licensed for a while, and now I'm starting the process. I've already completed my basic safety course (at the MRA), and I'd really like to get into the USPSA/IDPA shooting events (which is why I'm applying for a Class A, as I'd like the high-cap option for that). Truthfully, even if I was given an unrestricted LTC-A, I almost certainly wouldn't often carry concealed, though I wouldn't mind having the option.
So, after that long winded intro, should i just put ALP on the application and let them sort it out at the Medford PD station, or will putting T&H or Sporting give me a better chance of getting through the application process in a timely and efficient manner? Also, would you recommend I include a letter as an attachment explaining what I've just explained and mentioning my interest in the USPSA stuff, or should I just put "ALP and for competitive shooting events" in the little box?
Your knowledge and worldly wisdom is greatly appreciated
