| Why does the main page for Massachusetts say oc in a car is not allowed in a vehicle? I am not aware of any law that prohibits this. Please cite.

I am not sure. I know mass has some law saying that the gun must be in immediate of direct possesion of you...i guess open carrying means your passenger could grab it..haha..it makes no sense...i hope CT does not have that because i sometimes have my gun in my glove compartment..which makes it accesible to whoever is riding shotgun....

| Yeah the law does say that to carry a loaded handgun in a vehicle it has to be under your direct control. My instructor said that meant anywhere within reach, but not the center console or glove box. It doesn't specify if you have to conceal it or not. I don't take chances and usually wear it holstered or in a bag on the passenger seat.

can anyone spell out the law in mass about opencarry/ccw...i do know you need a LTC to possess handgun and you must keep it within controlling distance if not it must be properly locked....but what is the deal on opencarry, should we bare some sort of badge or id that when recognised immediately a person knows your a permit holder and are within your leagal rights to carry protection....when to use it is defined as eminate danger to life.....

RCHAP,
IANAL, but the chief has broad use of authority when it comes to LTC. I Used to live in Westfield, now am in Virginia. The chief may not issue to someone he determines unacceptable or just based on his or her political biased. My LTC A in Mass, I had put "Target and Sport" for reason needed LTC. I got my application back after the NICS check and he had crossed it out and put "ALL LAWFUL PURPOSES". All I can say is read...read...read the laws!! Maybe even print out a little pocket guide to carry in your wallet. I just got hooked on this site and OCing since I moved here, I wish I had known of it while I was up there. Hope this helps a little, Keep up the OC fight up there!

the chief in worcester would ban ALL guns if he could, he WILL use ANY excuse to pull your permit,such as (if it rains for over a minute on a thursday in cairo) it is not against the law to O.C. in worcester, he just doesn't like it and it will cost you money to fight him!

| My Brother in Law is the licensing authority in his jurisdiction in Mass. He would definitely revoke the license of anyone open carrying. He is pretty sure that most of the other licensing authorities would do the same.

| Please ask your brother in law why he would revoke a permit from someone that was openly carrying. I would be very interested to know the reason and under what statute. Thanks.

Its is legal to OC in MA but as it has been versed to me CC whenever possible so you dont attract uneeded attention to you and the situation. OC in the woods while hiking is one thing, to be walking down Main St at 11pm with all the booze hounds on the street while OC'ing will only piss the PD off and make your rights feel violated as most MA cops have very large egos and love to piss on your wheaties when possible just to show you who's in control.
Words of wisdom "dont attract uneeded attention to yourself unless your looking to get jammed up"...
