Concealed carry is next to impossible to get in Boston unless you own your own business or make frequent large cash deposits. There is no "Self Protection" option.
I'll end up with a sport/target restriction, which allows everything but concealed carry.

That sucks. I would hate to live in a state with such stupid gun laws. Here in Ohio to get a concealed carry permit you have to:
1. Take a 12 hour class where you learn about the laws, proper handling, cleaning, and you have to pass a test where you shoot the gun and hit the target x number of times. You also have to pass the written test.
2. Take your paperwork to the local sheriff's office with your paperwork, get fingerprinted, and pay a fee.
3. If you pass the background check and everything else checks out fine, you get your permit.
Ohio is a "Shall issue" state meaning that if you meet condition "A, B, C, etc." they have to give you a permit. None of the crap where you "have to make large deposits, etc."
Hang in there man..... hopefully you can get a CC permit.
