States issued FID/LTC application form
http://www.mass.gov/Eeops/docs/chsb/frb_fid_lic_app.pdf

some police departments refuses to accept that ( like Boston ),
instead they have their own on their website
or you must pick-up in person at police station

Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Website
http://www.masschiefs.org/

List of Massachusetts Cities and Towns Police Departments Link
http://www.masshome.com/police.html

For a Concealed License/permit, you must apply to the chief of police in the city/town you live in.
or that you have a Business in.

Class A allows FULL CARRY/CONCEALED CARRY

Class B , allows carrying only on your premises,
or UNLOADED, LOCKED in a container, and separated from ammo in a vehicle

Issuing agency has been known to RESTRICT Class A-LTC
eg: Target and Hunting Only
or Sporting
or Work Only
so a restricted LTC does NOT allow Concealed carry, but it allows you to purchase Large Capacity weapons and any other weapons legal on the AG list or thats not banned

It's worth noting that NON RESIDENT Class -A licenses are apparently Shall Issue. If you have a home state license, and jump through the hoops, the Mass. State Police will issue you a license. I have never heard of any non resident being denied. It is just too lucrative a cash cow

I personally have renewed my Class-A license 4 times. For those who don't know, the non resident license is $100.00 and only good for 1 year.

Default non-resident LTC

Caldwelljoe,

I am from Ny and just got my application for MA non-res.

based on your experience, can you give me any advice for filling out the 'reason for carry' section?

Thanks.

Do you have a NY license ?
or any other NR license ?
you must have a license already to get a MA NR LTC
maybe you can get a Florida or Utah NR permit and then apply for MA
NH is like MA, for NH N-R, you need to already have a license/permit from anywhere, homestate or N-R will do for NH
not 100% sure about MA accepting N-R licenses

Thanks for your reply. If it worked for you, I will use that. It is going to take me some time; I have to take an approved firearms course and get a doc from the Bureau of Criminal Records showing that I am not a criminal, as well as all the fingerprinting.

Yes, I have a NY (home state) permit. It has target restriction though. I also have PA and NH non-res. My FL expired, so I am in the process of getting a new one.
