Lurker here, looking to get a first gun. I'be been through firearms safety, handling, and training classes, and am ready to buy.

How do I get started? I've lived in Massachusetts for a few years now and have heard the gun laws here suck, but having been in college I didn't have the time or spare income to buy a gun.
Can somebody give me a step-by-step guide as to what I need to do in order to get my lisences/permits/whatever and such?

Thinking I'll get a cheap 12ga pumper and maybe a lever gun.
>>
>>31991840
Are you in Boston?
It's different here than out west, but I would be happy to help you out, as a Bostonian.

But either way, I got you.
>>
>>31991983
Just a bit outside the city, but pretty much yes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And reciprocated with beer.
>>
>>31992085
Do you get a T stop?
Apparently, that has something to do with it to certain people. Which makes sense, but it's dumb all the same.

I live in Dorchester (not the shitty part), and have a whole mess of guns. Almost all of them I bought in New Hampshire.

What are you looking for? CC or just the LTC?

None of it is too hard, but it can be inconvenient.

And I'd definitely take you up on a beer. Not a lot of massbros around.
>>
>>31992085
>>31992154
ayy, Massbro! 413 over here.
>>
>>31992154
No T stop, MBTA though. I'm in Lowell but got to Boston every weekend.

I really just want to go about buying a gun and have no idea where to start, LTC Would be nice I guess. No CC's in Lowell because this city blows giant ass.

>>31992181
978!
>>
>>31992181
>>31992233
also 413 here, MA /k/ meet when?
>>
>>31992243
i think we should collab with /vt/ and /nh/ and have a northeast meetup. I wouldn't mind hosting it once i get my nice bar/bunker set up.
>>
>>31992233
Boston guy here.

LTC is easy, just fill out the form. You can do this online. Then you can buy your guns.

I don't know if there are stores out that way, but there's some really outstanding ones right across the border in New Hampshire and they help you out getting your gun here.

If you have any specific questions, shoot.

I think a meet up would be great.
>>
Just move to RI, we're like Massachusetts-Lite but run by the mob and we can buy anything we want.

MA you can't even buy ammo without a permit, even if you're from out of state and don't need one. MA sucks a cockadoodledoo.
>>
>>31992243
Can 508 play?
>>
>>31992296
so many stores are just FFL fronts, means you basically need to buy everything on line. Anyone bought anything from the Apple-something gunsmiths out west on route 2?
>>
>>31991840
I've been on here 8 years, MAfag, getting my first gun as well.
You need to get your LTC after those classes, then you're ready.

If you want a cheap 12 gauge get a Stevens 320. That's what I plan on.

But yeah, apply for your LTC. If you're in a red town/city they might deny you it just to harass you, you'd have to bring them to court over it using your own money, they usually throw the cases.
If you're in a green town apply for LTC, wait 1-2 months, and you'll either get an LTC or a restricted LTC.
LTC-A means you can conceal carry anywhere but school grounds, government property, and, uh, one other place I forget.
Restricted LTC-A means you still get shotguns, rifles, pistols etc. but no CCing.

As for getting your LTC, go to your local police station and ask for a form. Fill it out, give them it, wait a while.

Lots of guns aren't MA compliant for no reason, like the LCP.

413 here as well.

Anyone else feel really good rolling through Amherst/Northampton/South Hadley and seeing all the Hillary signs still up?

Gives me a warm feeling. one of my neighbors changed bumper stickers 3 times during the election. Once for Bernie, once for Jill Stein after Bernie was ousted and then recently changed it to "Don't blame me, I voted for Bernie"

Gloucester here.

I use the rockport PD range often, if youre active duty they'll let you up there. or veteran even I think. I go shoot there and use tannerite and piss off everyone, then I get asked to leave.

But yea, I was a tactics instructor in quantico and need a solid place to shoot in mass.

Former 413 faggot here.

If you want any guns you'll need your FID card. If you want a handgun or any gun deemed "high capacity" by the state you'll need your LTC.

Just go through the bullshit of obtaining your LTC. I've never had my MA LTC, but my good friend who does said when you interview with the police and they ask why just reply with "for all lawful purposes"

Then ta-dah. Enjoy your cucked 10 round magazines making double stack anything completely useless.

Pic related. If you live in any red colored town of pic related I pity your stupid ass and you should probably move to a green colored town for better chief of police and cheaper rent.
>>
>>31993175
real part is that Healey's stunt doesn't hold up to constitutionality test, it'll fall over pretty fast once someone actually challenges it, but nobody wants to take the risk yet.
>>
>>31993197
>"for all lawful purposes"
True that. The instructor at my training coarse outright told us all that.
He was chill, too. Some guy who had moved here moved in with an AR and has been here for over 60 days and just now getting his LTC. He told him, "Find a friend to take your AR ASAP, you're looking at felonies if found out".
>>
>>31993194
yep I got mine about two years ago, took a few months and $200 ($100 safety course, $100 application fee). Which I guess is pretty dumb, but IMHO its the AWB that makes this state so shitty for guns.

>>31993197
this guy has it right.

Remember to always go for your LTC because the FID has all the same requirements and is good for approximately bupkis
>>
>>31993225
Nice. I kinda like how since it's such a pain, most people wont think you'll be CCing.
Hey do you have Steam? We could meet up sometime. Haven't met with a /k/ommando irl ever.
I'm just "Bourbon" so your ID's probably better.
>>
>>31993222

Lel might have been my BIL I told him to keep his AR in storage in a free state and if he couldn't do that then he should not ever mention it to fucking anyone and the only time it comes out is if SHTF.

He didn't seem to understand how fucked MA is with guns when I told him before he left.

MA is fucked with guns. It's one reason I ditched that tyrannical, heroin ridden, liberal controlled, Orwellian piece of shit state. I hope MA sinks into the ocean. Along with everyone too stupid to leave it.

Although I mostly left because it doesn't snow in the south.
>>
>>31993214
yeah i certainly hope so. bought a Mini-14 on the day of because the gun store was starting to run out of everything else and I figured the new "ban" would hit that too.
(of course, being wooden, it's ban proof for some silly reason)
Should have bought an AR lower that I could "build" that night, but didn't.

>>
>>31993315

No. My BIL is definitely not a black dude. He's a goofy ass white dude who looks like he belongs in MA.

The scenery is great. The whole landscape of the state is. I do miss the summers and the falls.

But he liberal faggots everywhere and the snow drove me out. Along with the no guns laws. And many unconstitutional MA laws and practices I've witnessed while working with MA local and state LEOs for a few years. Even if we could melt all the liberals we couldn't melt all the snow.

Sorry Mass, but you are a shit and you'll never receive a penny of my tax dollars again.

The funny thing is that nobody else seems to know that we don't have AWBs or anything. Might be a good thing that it stays that way, or else we might get Bloomberg's billions pouring in to enact an assault weapons ban like he tried to do in Maine.

To be fair I had hoped we get more repubs in office so we can do something we always seem to be on the defensive when it comes to gun rights. We need a serious push this year. I talking straight up CCW reform and NFA legalization.

I'm an RI native, glad I don't live in mass permanently. Voted R and no confidence for all uncontested dems in RI, I think we've got the benefit of being so small that Bloomberg doesn't think we'll be worth his time. And yeah, an internship at GE would be pretty sweet but there's no way I'd actually want to live in MA cause Boston is 50% shithole and 50% super expensive. And the rest of MA is fine but coming from such a small state, if everything isn't an hour drive away then I better enjoy seeing the country, so I figure I'll move to CO eventually where lockmart and grumman are. RI is a beautiful state and I love the coast, but the southwest is beautiful too, and I want to see the stars.

How is the Norwottuck range. I just visited out the Ludlow FG since they have an indoor range and skeet, but they don't have rifle ranges.

>>31995619
Granby is OK, Belchertown is nice.
>>
>>31996755
It's 20$ for the family pass. It's basically a dirt pit with an almost 100 yard range next to it.

Only place I've shot, they do skeet and trap on Sunday mornings. The cell tower they have on the mountain keeps the costs down and the amherst libruls off their backs.
