Reply to comment by averydarkcat in How is the east coast of MA by averydarkcat

If you feel all obsessed with a certain interpretation of 2A might not like it. You have to wait until you are 14, pass a very basic firearms course, fill out paper work and they ask you if you've had guns "stolen" in the past, using an alias, are a citizen, etc. Pay between 25 and 100 bucks. They'll do a check and let you know when you are approved.

So if those seem onerous to you, you wont like Mass.

Yes, very much so. In each town in MA you have to apply for a LTC at the police office of the town you live after completing the required gun safety course and it’s ultimately the chief of police in that town that decides whether to issue it or not. That means each town has there own ‘rules’ as to interpretation. There used to be a map that graded each town red, yellow, or green depending on the likely hood of getting a license. A good resource is northeastshooters.com. Here on Reddit there is r/maguns that may be of help.
