If only 1 out of 10 got it, we could almost consider Boston green.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.
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.
5. Dont buy a .40
I think there are two kinds of people that dont deserve to have an LTC ( people that either shoot .40 or own a Shield) and one kind that should be sent to the Gulag (people that own a Shield in .40).Why not
I’m learning a lot from you guys. Appreciate all the replies. No open carry for me in Boston I guess, even though I thought it was OK because I googled MA gun laws and it said it’s legal (ma.gov website). I do, however plan on continuing with the “half ass concealment”. I have a holster that goes on my belt and when I’m carrying you can see the bottom part of the firearm sticking out from underneath my jacket/shirt (about 2 inches) and you can see a grip print pretty well. I am white, young, clean cut and in great athletic shape... so perhaps people just make “assumptions” and don’t know that I’m just a “citizen” like they are.
If you don't know the answers to those questions " Leave your guns at home son. Don't take your guns to town." Theres a song in their somewhere. If you draw your weapon and fire at someone and maim or kill them without just cause... You will quickly find yourself in the company of lots of other dudes in a restricted environment where you eat together, shower together and take yard time together.Also, i feel scared to use it self defense because I do not clearly understand under what circumstances I’m allowed to use it.

2. Yes, people can call the cops on your for printing and then you will need to explain how they knew you had a gun. Even showing your gun to someone so they wall away is like pointing it a them. So, if its concealed, how did they know?
The cops will put it on your to prove your innocence. Good luck.
You are trolling because you are a dope. You have no idea on firearm ownership and handling yet you think you’ll impress people showing off a gun in MA.I appreciate your help guys. I’m not too sure why some of you think I’m trolling and how I could prove that I’m not. I’m just new and a bit lost. Also, now scared too. Scared to carry. It seems that no matter what I will always be in the wrong, and the idea of being arrested / in jail/prison scares me more than being dead. There is something really scary about not being free. I’d rather be dead. Not even kidding. Also, what I mentioned “white, young, clean cut and in great athletic shape” I meant that people probably assume you’re a COP, probably been on duty for a couple of years.
The trigger and recoil is a lot different in Moms basement. I think.This is one fear I have in an active shooter situation - a bunch of concealed carriers that have never been to a range firing indiscriminately like it’s Call of Duty in their parents’ basement.

99% of what you're afraid of can be avoided by:
*Training
*Listening to other people who've been in your situation before
*Good situational awareness
*Thinking about the consequences of any action you take
Freedom isn't about being a rando white boy walking around Boston openly with a Glock 17. Freedom is all about accepting responsibility.
I agree with this. Having a gun on yoy doesnt mean you are the man and can now walk around through the sketchiest places because if someone comes at you, you just shoot them.
Having a gun means paying attention. Avoiding confrontation.
You also need to realize, if you point your gun at someone, you better be ready to use it, because two things can happen:
1. That person gets pissed and charges at you.
2. That persons is not a complete idiot and runs away.
If #1 happens, are you ready to shoot?
I have met a lot of people carrying for the first time, and they almost never think of the consequences, of what is coming after you shoot someone.
I like your sarcasm. I do not belong to a club, but I go to a range sometimes here in Boston. The only firearm I own is a Glock 17 handgun, and that is the one I wanted to carry and print
Dude, really?Also, i feel scared to use it self defense because I do not clearly understand under what circumstances I’m allowed to use it.

We all can’t be wrong.
I was waiting for you to reply. I almost tagged you.OUCH! At least the Shield isn’t a .40...
But, are you sure I can't open carry? ... I mean, the law doesnt say I can't.97 posts in 24 hours.
