In Mass a class A permit says you can carry concealed and loaded, but if the issuing authority puts for hunting and target, Does that mean it must be locked up and unloaded until your actually at the range or in the woods? What if I'm bringing it to a friends or to a gun shop, etc.?
In MA the restriction put on your permit by the Police Chief, did not have a legal basis,that said courts have
said otherwise. I am not sure what current statues say. I would; 1. Call or E mail the Gun Owners Action League for the latest info. 2. If you are not a member than you should become one. Gun Owners' Action League - GOAL.org - "Protecting Your Freedom Begins Here" The answer to your question may be listed on their web site. Good luck.
Its up to the chief in the town he lives in. Mass Is a MAY issue state. Most towns only give out class b or a restricted class a the first time around.
Yes, you cant carry it loaded exept when at the range or while hunting. With your restricted class a you can transport it anywhere (unloaded ammo seperate and in a locked container)
First time I heard of this "Class A" permit. Is this something that is available in certain states. Glad I don't have those restrictions on my permit here in Michigan
Write a letter telling him why you need an unrestricted Class A LTC, show him you are an upstanding, law abiding citizen, point to community work you may have done, personal achievements....boy scouts, eagle scout, philanthrapist, etc...also check out Gun Owners' Action League - GOAL.org - "Protecting Your Freedom Begins Here". There are tips there on writing a letter, etc. Link Removed
