Ltc in Massachusetts

[jimmymac]

I'm told that I have to write a letter to the police chief in order to get my LTC. Any suggestions on how to lay it out?

Have you checked this site yet?

Getting an LTC in Massachusetts

Reason: "Unrestricted".

The explanation depends on the PD. Some PDs accept the following as explanation: "All lawful purposes."

Some PDs require a more specific explanation. See Link Removed for a PD that requires to list a specific reason. Something had to happen in your life that you fear for your safety: "I request a license with no restrictions for personal protection of myself and my family both within and outside the home." ... follow up with specifics ....

I'm in mass and I had to do no such thing . what town are you applying in?
you should check out this sight, lots of good "local" info and advice.
here's a town by town break down on which chiefs are "green" and which are "red".
I'm in Dedham..."All Lawful Purposes" was all I or my wife needed to state on the application.

I am sure glad I don't live there.

You got to have a permit to even carry pepper spray!

The pepper spray restriction was removed, you can just go buy it without a permit. They changed it a couple of years ago.
I have a Mass license and it will expire and I won't renew it again, I don't live there anymore.
I applied and had to write a letter to the chief why I wanted to carry. I was assaulted, stabbed and robbed on a job site, so I had pretty good reason to carry. It varies from town to town. Good luck.
