That blows! What did he place down as reason for issue?
My brother just got his LTC A. and the restrictions are Hunting, Target and Protection what does that mean. He is in Russell, Ma.
Why is carry in a bar wrong?Just called my brother and he said he asked for target practice protection and hunting. The chief said it was approved, you just have to be careful. For example don't carry in bars. It sounds to me that they made a mistake and put reasons instead of restrictions.
It means his LTC was issued by a clueless cop. "Reason(s) For Issuance" was replaced by "Restriction(s) over two, if not three, years ago.
It's partially your brother's own fault for submitting a poorly-written app. He should have written:
Restriction(s): NONE (formerly "All Lawful Purposes")
instead of that laundry list of possible uses.

good lord scriv, not everyone understands the climate of gun ownership in this state prior to their own application, so try lightening up.
Why is carry in a bar wrong?
If he is restricted to carrying for "hunting, target or protection" doesn't the "protection" allow him to carry pretty much like an ALP?
That sounds betterIt's not wrong I should of said the chief told him to be careful carrying in a bar.
And such a vapid, willful ignorance is precisely WHY they get into the difficulties they come on this forum - or call me - and whine about.
Any present or intended firearms owner who doesn't grasp the fact that Massachusetts is actively hostile to gun owners has his or her head so far up his/her backside, they must need a snorkel to breathe.
Apologists for such behavior enable such stupidity.
and the assumption that everyone knows as much as someone whose career is firearms law is just that - stupidity. oh well.
It's called "Special Ed" for a reason - normal people are supposed to be able to take such basic precautions, instead of being wet-nursed their entire lives.
Spare us your desperate and disingenous "assumption."
It takes NO special skill or knowledge to grasp the obvious; i.e. that this state is hostile to firearms ownership.
It takes only minimal effort - like bothering to actually read a few threads on this forum (or any other dealing w/MA law) or the GOAL site - to realize that, given the consequences of unpreparedness, a little attention to the process is in order.
want to talk assumptions? How about your assumption that every person knows this forum, with all its information, exists. You know that is not true, yet that is what you are trying to tell me. Many people don't know about all the sites and sources out there. You just simply can't assume they do.
Your little apologia can be disposed of with one word:
GOOGLE.
Grasp the concept.

You probably also automatically assume that every person looking to you for legal advice when they come to your office is dumb and a nuisance because you have to do your job when they show up....
gee, what a nice guy you are, and levelheaded too!
They were lucky. The house down the street that sold a year or so ago for $385k is up with an asking price of $295k (foreclosure sale through traditional real estate agent).Two houses sold through foreclosure for 20-45k below what I sold for.
