[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1112717, member: 12952"] Just what was a 17yr old doing with a loaded gun ? Did someone from the gov't do a background check on him ? Again a cry for justice , but at who's expense ? Why must all gun owners who already have followed the laws to date be punished ? In Mass. just to get a permit one has to take an NRA & State Police Safety course , then submit an application to your local police dept. , which can reject it or apply their own conditions upon it . The Firearms Record Bureau (FRB) maintains a database of licenses issued and records of firearms sales by gun dealers, as well as private transfers of weapons. The process can take weeks if not months to complete . [B]New LTC applicants[/B] must be 21 years of age or older to obtain a Class “A” or Class “B” permit. [B]New FID applicants[/B] must be at least 18 years old (or 15 – 17 years old with parental consent). [COLOR=#000000]Non-residents may not purchase ammunition in Massachusetts.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
