Reply to comment by sydiko in Do I need a firearms course for Restricted Firearms Identification License? by [deleted]

Yes I was just wondering if I needed to take a class before getting the RFID

Yes, you need a course. Also worth noting, depending on your city. If you get restrictions and later on decide you want an LTC, you may have problems getting the restrictions taken off. It might just be better to wait til you're 21 and go for an unrestricted license. Obviously don't know if that's something you might want to do in the future

There are no more restrictions on LTCs.

This looks to be true!

On August 10, 2022, Massachusetts, complying with the recent Bruen decision, repealed the legislative language that permitted police departments to impose carry restrictions on LTCs as well as the criminal penalties that could be imposed for carrying outside of a restriction.

The new legislation, Chapter 174 of the Acts of 2022, was passed with an emergency preamble, which means it was effective immediately upon the Governor’s signature. (Read the new bill here:

Haven’t considered that yet. I was just recently almost attacked by two dogs and wanted to make sure if it happened again I could protect myself if needed. Thank you for your info.

Couldn't agree more!

Go for the LTC-A (Unrestricted)

Yep, as others have said you need to take the Basic Firearms Satefy Course.
