I have one, it depends on what town you live in.The first thing to do is inquire at your local police station about it. Its completely at the discretion of the chief of police in your town. It was no problem in my town, but the next town over will not issue you one period. Nothing you can do about it. You have to take a pistol course (full day class around $100) then apply at the police station. Thats another $100 and anywhere from 1 month to whenever they feel like getting back to you! You have to have a bunch of background checks done, and they will find anything you've done so be honest on the application. after you pass all that the Chief has the final say, and if he doesn't like the shirt you're wearing he can say no. The laws are very vague and made that way to discourage people. Good luck and welcome to the Peoples Republic of Mass!!!
