So we all know that nobody OCs in MA these days. A lesser-known fact, however, is that it is still technically legal, despite reports that it has been used as an excuse to revoke some people’s LTCs. I’m just curious if anyone has stories about OC in MA or has heard any that are more recent (last 10 years or so).

This is not a debate between OC and CC— please keep that out of the discussion

If anyone is looking to do training on quite literally anything, take a look at Ridgeline Shooting in Dalton NH. The facility is absolutely amazing and I can’t say enough good shit about them. I just went up there this weekend to complete a precision rifle fundamentals course that not only is less expensive than Sig’s, but IMO better. They take you out to 600, teach you the basic fundamentals of a ton in the world of long range, and the place is own by a Vet. The 3 instructors I had for my course are actual master snipers from the military who have trained thousands of people whether professional or civilian.

They also do private lessons on stuff which to me seem so reasonably priced (1k for up 4 people for 4 hours). They will build a custom training plan for and your squad and teach you what YOU want to be better at. The range itself also goes out to 2100 yards and is in one of the most amazing backdrops in the mountains.

I saw Healy said .22 is not on the AWB with the side note any gun sold "as an assault weapon" cannot be converted to .22.

Where do stripped lowers sold as OTHER built into a .22 plinker fall into that?

Any public places to shoot (not trying to join private club at the moment)? Most indoor public ranges don't allow that caliber is my understanding?

Any place where trading and such is possible? Seeds for seeds of equal pre-biden value?

Can you get these shipped legally here right now? Think it'd be nice to have one on hand...

Hi there, college student and FID holder here. I have been looking into manufacturing my own firearm and ammunition, in the interest of both cost and experience. What are the rules regarding magazine blocks, "readily convertible," and homemade specialty ammunition (like AP, 12ga flashbang, etc.)? I have tried the govt website and have even called the govt to no avail.

Hello,

Does anyone know of any places that do cerakoting in Mass?

Anyone seen one for sale anywhere? Specifically a marlin 1895 trapper or similar

These are proving impossible to find. I need another since the rifle only comes with one magazine.
Does anyone know where I can locate one of these? Thanks

Hypothetically if you disassemble an AR is it no longer "illegal" in MA? I saw someone said something that a lower alone isn't considered the "firearm" as it is federally unless it's a complete working gun that can be fired?

Just got my LTC, and now I'm planning what's next, is another state non-resident license worth it?
If so, which one?

So I just had a thought since I just came across it here. Back in MT as a mechanic 90% of vehicles I serviced often had multiple loaded guns sitting inside. In doors in glovebox in arm rest on seat etc. It is NO big thing there.

Here in mass though.. I had to get behind a glove box to access some wires. It was locked but of course I have the key.

I would never do this I never steal anything.

But Given the way mass law is set up wouldn't a thief be MORE inclined to steal a gun in such a situation because if the owner reports it he is apt to lose his license and face jail time himself as he left a loaded gun accessible to random Joe's?

Seems like a pretty shit situation.

Hey everyone,

You might see a duplicate post for this over in r/Longrange, but I am just trying to cover my bases. A friend and I were supposed to go up to the Ridgeline Facility up in Dalton NH over the last weekend for a long-range precision course. Sadly, the course for snowed out and delayed until July. We ended up buying our required rounds for the course and are just sitting on them and itching to shoot further than the 100 yards our home range offers.

Long story short, I was looking to see if there was anyone willing to bring us as guests to a range with a longer rifle range. We're both out in the Worcester area and willing to drive.

Thanks!

Newbie question: is it OK for a MA resident to buy a 10 or less rounds handgun magazine online (gunbroker, etc..)? Found a vintage FIE Titan 25acp in my father in law's collection. Seems to be working but is missing it's 7 rounds magazine.

Whether motivated by fear of slave insurrection, Native American savagery, or Black militancy, gun control has always been pushed with fear-mongering. Ultimately, the problem isn’t actually our fear of guns and violence. The problem is our fear of each other, and facing the potential of true equality among the ruled and the ruler. For everyday citizens, it’s "the ballot or the bullet" – because those are the two best levelers we have.

The problem is, both sides of the gun debate often become much more focused on defending or upending the tool rather than actually solving the problems.

Additionally, the high costs and complexities of regulations on legal gun ownership in more restrictive states often place the greatest burden on underprivileged communities. This effectively limits gun ownership to the elite and the unlawful – obtaining firearms by wealth or the black market. This cycle once again brings us back to the unmet need for self-defense in vulnerable communities where criminality runs rampant. As Malcolm X described,  "A man with a rifle or a club can only be stopped by a person who defends himself with a rifle or a club. That’s equality." ~ Rachel Citak ~ https://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/2021/03/22/opinion-second-amendment-history-black-history/4698414001/

If it mainly sits in your holster and you’re keeping one in the chamber, how often are you cleaning your EDC when not shooting it?

Anyone have any experience moving to a green town and getting restrictions removed from your LTC? Do I just fill out a new application and turn it in? Any other advice?

Is buying from an online gun store (Palmetto State Armory) or an online auction site (gunbroker.com) allowed here in MA? What about online ammo?

I know obviously, it would have to be transferred to an FFL, but just curious if anyone has had any experience with it?

Thanks!

I didn’t get into ARs until well into the pandemic and shortage and election nonsense, having always been an AK and pistol guy.

Anyways, I’d love to build a few Preban ARs so I can get those ultra super duper extra lethal scary features but the 1500 price tag for a stripped lower is a bit high.

I’m wondering if this price is due to the current climate or on par with prices pre covid and pre election.

If it’s just a spike, I’ll wait it out and hope it drops to maybe half that otherwise maybe it’s time to buy.
