Reply #42: In my regressive state (MA)?... LOL!!!

[-..__...]

I had a CCW permit at one time (5 years ago), but, due to the nature of the obscene "may issue" law here, the CLEO in the community I moved to "dumbed" me down on renewal (my current license is only good for range/target/sporting use).

Didn't matter that I previously held a valid CCW license for 12 years... didn't matter that I have over 30 years firearms experience (and probably know more about MA and federal firearms laws than %90 of the police offers out there, as well as having way more range experience)... didn't matter that I had never been arrested in my life... didn't matter the references I supplied (yep... that's a requirement), were glowing... didn't matter that the community I lived in prior was a scant 3 miles away... didn't matter that, ah well, enough of that... you get the idea. :mad:

3 more years until retirement and a move to Arizona is looking better and better.B-)
