[QUOTE="Misterbill45, post: 1443690, member: 17139"] I just moved out of the People's Republic of Mass. All firearms ownership requires a permit. In order to own so much as a bolt-action .22 you have to have taken a NRA safety course, pay a $125 fee and go through about a 2 month long waiting period. The FID (Firearms ID Card) entitles you to own low capacity long arms only. THIS license is "shall-issue." To own a pistol or hi-cap capable long-arm you have to get a different license, called a LTC. This is NOT a CCW. Many, if not most LTCs are restricted to hunting/sporting only. You cannot carry concealed with them. ALL LTCs (read permission to own any pistol or hi-cap capable firearm) are totally discretionary. If your town's Chief of police has decided he doesn't like handguns, no one gets an LTC. Yes, there are many towns in Mass. like this. If you've managed to upset the CoP by say, appearing at a city council meeting and complaining about the police, say goodbye to your RKBA. The blogger in question lost merely his permit to own firearms. Once that is revoked or suspended, it's a felony to possess firearms, hence the confiscation. But it gets better, because the Mass police put the guns in "storage" with their pet FFL who will charge a daily storage rate that's so expensive that it costs more to get them out of storage than to buy new guns even IF you eventually get your license back. Just thought I'd set the record straight. -Bill [/QUOTE]
