CWL question...

[MRusso39]

I live in Florida and have a Concealed Weapons License there. I'm from Mass originally and go back up to Boston quite often. Does anybody know what I would have to do to get a CWL in Mass too for when I visit? Can you have 1 in 2 different states? Florida has a reciprocating agreement with about 24 states, but Mass isn't one of them. NH is, but that doesn't really help. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

You need to contact the FRB to apply. At $100/year, its not really worth it in my opinion, unless you come up here quite often. You can have as many permits as you qualify for (ex- some states do not issue non resident permits, or only for specific reasons such as employment, etc). Its a good plan to have as many as you can get, or as many as you feel you need.

To even possess a gun, ammo/components or OC in MA you will need a NR LTC (Felony if caught without the LTC). Not difficult to get, just expensive at $100/year.
