The latest regulations being considered which will affect firearm's clubs. Support is far from universal and most likely will not be enacted.

 

By the way, Lynn pictured is one of the most active instructors on the north shore.

I didnt realize Lynn was still going strong Rich, i figured she'd have retired by now. As bad as we have it here, at least we're not Ma, right??

I never thought I would hear my self say this about MA, but MA laws are actually better than NJ. Granted you can buy more types of guns here at an FFL than in MA, but the process of buying a gun up there is a lot easier up there. Apply for an LTC (you will pretty much always get this but some towns have restrictions on it), and just go to a store and buy a gun. You dont need to keep waiting for months on end for pistol permits for each handgun.

Yep. Just had friends from MA visiting last week and he had a carry permit. Pretty easy to get from what he said.

It's been a while since i was up that way, When my brother got his LTC it was a bear to get, the only way he managed was because he had been threatened by the Anti-Nuke crowd because he worked at the Pilgrim PGS. Sounds like they've lightened up a bit which is good. Do you still need a new LTC for each handgun purchase??

Some towns are still strict about it. Some areas around Boston will grant you the LTC but put restrictions on it which prevent you from carrying it unless you are at the range or hunting. It is completely up to the cheif of each town. Mine had no restrictions at all so I could carry everywhere in the state except school zones and federal property. Once you get your LTC, it is valid for 5 years. You do not hand it over for each handgun you buy. You can buy as many or as few guns as you like once you have it. All you do it show it to the dealer, they will do the background check on you and then you walk out with your new purchase.

Not really as much depends on the municipality itself. Add to that the "approved firearms list" and the the fact that the AG will file suit against anyone shipping anything into the state.

 

In addition, the yearly cost of the permit is high.

Yea its a real PITA with the AG. The permit cost isn't to bad. Resident LTC is $100 for five years. The non-resident LTC is ridiculous at $100 per year and you have to go to Chelsea, MA for an interview
