Why restricted? Is she (you) in a RED town?
Gongrats nonetheless.
I'm curious.
If someone has an LTC-A, restricted this way, does that preclude them from using the gun for self defense in the home, or is that implicit?
.
Well the liitle lady just picked up her LTC Class A, (Hunting & Target) but she doesn't care. She's soooo happy!
She's also a member of G.O.A.L and the NRA.
That's great!
My wife loves to shoot and she took the certification class 2 years ago. She hasn't bothered to go get a license Maybe I'll drag her into the station and get it done this summer.
She still hasn't?????? Oh man....I failed as an instructor.

A restricted A means she can't carry loaded and/or concealed.
Lynne,
Thanks for the quick reply. I understand this view, but here's the basis of my confusion....
Since no possession (even for home defense) is legal without an FID or LTC, then the FID or LTC would appear to cover 'ownership and use' and not just carry status.
In that case, isn't it normal to interpret LTC restrictions as being true restrictions and not just carry restrictions?
I can't find language in the laws themselves that provide clarity on this issue.

The way I interpret (I may be wrong) LTC=License to Carry. Carry what? A Firearm. Restrictions: Target & Hunting. It did not say unloaded, locked in a case/trunk of your car or anything else.
So on the way to the Target shooting or hunting she's legal carrying a firearm on her person loaded. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Titan - the LTC is saying you can now possess firearms but the restriction says you can't carry it concealed outside your home IE taking to the range/hunting/etc is allowed (and theres a whole debate over if you can carry concealed to these activities, and your best bet for an answer to that is to ask your licensing authority)
Anyway, back on topic, congrats on getting her to get the LTC!! I'm in the process of convincing my gf to get her LTC as well, which would be from Medford too
