Thank you guys, I appreciate your replies. I didn’t know it is that bad out here. I figured open carry will make some people uncomfortable, but to call the police and lie / say I threatened them with a firearm when I didn’t?... Isn’t this like considered “filing false police report” or something. Plus ... what IF I’m a LEO- wouldn’t they get scared that they might get arrested for lying. I get it now that I shouldn’t open carry or even print... but damn... now I feel scared to even CC because if a friend of mine know I’m CC and we get into verbal disagreement I feel like he/she can make me go down real easy... just call the cops and lie on me and I’m in jail + my LTC gone. Or if I bend over in super marker and firearm becomes visible to others. WTH???? Literally scared and ready to surrender my LTC lmao
Also, i feel scared to use it self defense because I do not clearly understand under what circumstances I’m allowed to use it. I don’t think I can use it if someone punches me in the face... but can I use it when someone pulls knife on me? Or do I have to wait for them to stab me first. Chances are if I shoot them, cops come and the criminal will say I pulled my firearm on him first so he pulled out a knife... so damn lost.
just not really aware how I can legally use my firearm in self defense.

If you run into a problem many miles from your Dad's shop and you were not involved in your Dad's business affairs when you got stopped by the cops with your gun, you may have a real problem. The Boston PD gave you that LTC for your Dad's business. When you are not working for Dad, leave the gun and LTC at home before you permanently lose both. Carry a folding lockblade knife and a can of OC instead.Well, my dad owns a shop and I help him out. I carry cash for him/make deposits. They asked for proof and I gave it to them. Are you saying it’s really hard to get unrestricted in Boston? Like only 1/10 gets it? Sorry, I’m new here keep tell you guys.
Worked well for my wife. As a student at LSU, she was accosted by some creep in the parking lot outside the computer lab one evening. The Sabre- brand spray that she used incapacitated him and she was able to escape. LSU police arrested a suspect a week later after he tried a similar attack.OC is a great idea to people unfamiliar with OC.

An unrestricted ltc is an unrestricted ltc. Op did not say his ltc states "for employment only" or anything like that which would then make it restricted. If his ltc doesn't have anything written on it stating it's for his dad's business he can carry it any time he wants.If you run into a problem many miles from your Dad's shop and you were not involved in your Dad's business affairs when you got stopped by the cops with your gun, you may have a real problem.

I had a client involved in a road rage incident with a crazy person. Client was walking through parking lot and crazy person drove at him in car. Client puts hand on hip to be ready to draw and crazy person screams “What? Do you have a gun?” Client says “Yes, and I have a license”.
Crazy person told police client pointed gun and threatened to shoot crazy person.
Client charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. LTC suspended. Crazy person still walking around.
Don’t let anyone know you have a gun until they hear the bang.
Got home yesterday and put my gun back in the bedside vault. Wife asked if i had it on me all day. She was with me all day. I'm getting good at keeping it with me and not tugging my shirt and bear pawing my hip all day.i tell NO ONE, not even friends, when im carrying. PERIOD.
Well, thank you for your repAll he said is “if you shoot someone, make sure you kill them”... which made me even more confused.
Holy shit.
Kid, seriously: get some better training.
I know it might be stupid, but I like the idea of others knowing that Im carrying. That is why I asked if it’s OK to print.
Not necessarily. Boston has been known to renew unrestricted licenses without difficulty.Your license is going to be downgraded to restricted in 5 years. What do you plan on doing about it now?
You need to hide more than the gun. Make sure your LTC does not show when you open your wallet. I notice some people put their LTC where they can peek at it every time they buy lunch. The problem is people notice. I've introduced myself to shooters at work in front of me in the lunch line because they flashed their LTC, and I know of a situation where a NY state cop raised the gun issue only because the out of state driver at a routine stop kept his CT carry permit in a visible position.No offence intended, but sometimes folks (newbies) can be so happy and proud when they get their first LTC and gun and start to carry, that they want the world to know it. It will pass. Jack.
seriously?! You have been in MA way too long if you believe this BS. Holy f***! Am I glad I got out of that cesspool! You guys need to go find your balls if you ever had any.do you know who gets shot first in any gun on gun situation?
The good guy the bad guy knows is armed. He walks in and takes you out first as he knows you are a threat.
I don't know where you got your training, if any, but I'd be asking for a refund.
Why are you saying that my license will be downgraded in 5 years? I’m pretty sure based on responses in this thread and other threads- once you’re unrestricted you remain unrestricted when renew?Your license is going to be downgraded to restricted in 5 years. What do you plan on doing about it now?
