Massachusetts CCW issues by town

Never a problem in Bourne! The fact that Falmouth's Police Chief was so Anti actually kept me from buying a house there back in 2000. Glad I stayed in Bourne and bought here. Happy to be Bourne in The USA!!!!

Does anybody have any experience with the town of Berkley??? I had no problem in Fall River a few years ago.

Berkley is listed as green on this map

Green generally issues ALP without problems

I see that Berkley is green on the map....I was hoping to hear of any personal experience. I read in the Boston Globe a while ago that Berkley had the second most denials in the state at 9%. Revere was first.

A denial is totally different from issuing policy

You are only denied if you have a statutory disqualifier
Eg.. Restraining orders against you, committed to a mental health facility, DUI/OUI, felony criminal records , etc...

Wouldn't it also be classified as a denial if a person applied for a LTC and was issued an FID instead???

Danvers... Red/Black

Will not issue a Class A to anyone under 25. Will not even let you apply for it. Trust me, been through it

Crazy stuff huh? I can't verify this because I forget where I heard it, BUT, I heard the whole gig was going to be taken over by the state at some point, and there would be no more messing around by these hard case cops put in charge by the chiefs. You either qualify for a CC or you don't.

Scituate used to be a nice town where everyone knew everyone and got along for the most part. When the liberals started spilling in from CohASSet and Hingham things got tough. I heard the gun club just got shut down because of ornery neighbors. Good luck down there.

Northampton: LTC/ALP, usually Class A

I too have heard similar things. I know GOAL is trying to change the way things are here in PRMA by re-writing the laws pertaining to firearms completely. They are also looking to do away with the different classes and just have a FID card. This will allow anyone over 21 to carry and card holders under 21 to own rifles/shotguns.
