To legally carry, purchase, or transport a large capacity firearm in Massachusetts, you must obtain your License to Carry (LTC). This license also includes non-large capacity handguns, rifles, shotguns, feeding devices, and ammunition. This is also the only license that allows the carrying of concealed handguns-either loaded or unloaded.
An LTC costs $100 and is valid for up to 6 years. All first-time firearm license applicants must successfully complete a Massachusetts Certified Firearms Safety Course or a Basic Hunter Education Course and submit a certificate of completion with their firearms license application.
Another part of the LTC application process is a criminal background check. Under federal law, people are generally prohibited from legally possessing firearms if they have been convicted of a felony, and domestic violence convictions will also greatly affect their ability to own a firearm.
If your LTC has been denied, the Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson is here to help. We are experienced firearms attorney, and we will help you protect your right to carry a gun. Call or text us today at (617) 295-7500.
A large capacity firearm is defined as a semi-automatic handgun or rifle that can accept more than ten rounds, a semi-automatic shotgun that can hold more than five shotgun shells, or an assault weapon. In contrast, standard firearms typically have lower magazine capacities.
