Hey guys BigNate84 here
Bringing you all kinds of professional and informative how to videos
Here’s some info to help you figure out what type of firearms license is right for
you
I recommend going with the Class A right off the bat
It just gives you more flexibility to purchase and carry firearms
Here's what I'll be discussing in this video
Feel free to skip around by clicking on whatever interests you the most
Here are a few terms you should be familiar with
Large capacity handguns can hold 10 or more rounds
Large capacity rifles and shotguns can hold 5 or more rounds
Carry basically means that you can legally be in possession of a firearm
Conceal means that you can legally keep a firearm hidden on your person in public
Non-large capacity handguns can hold 10 or less rounds
Non-large capacity rifles and shotguns can hold 5 or less rounds
A class A will cost you $200
$100 for the safety course and $100 for the license itself
You must be 21 to apply
This will allow you to carry and conceal large capacity handguns rifles shotguns and mace
The class A restricted will cost you the same $200
You must be 21 to apply
This will allow you to carry but not conceal large capacity handguns rifles shotguns and
mace
I know what your thinking
You have to have a license to carry mace in Massachusetts?
Yeah, that's correct, as of now the law is, you need to have a firearms license to carry
mace
The class B will cost the same $200
You must be 21 to apply
This will allow you to carry but not conceal non-large capacity handguns rifles shotguns
and mace
The FID card will cost the same $200
You must be 18 to apply or 15 with parental consent
This will allow you to carry non-large capacity rifles shotguns and mace
You still must be 18 to purchase and transport the firearm
So if you're a 15 year old kid you can get one with parental consent
You just can't carry it around in your vehicle or whatever
And you can't purchase anything without paretnal consent
The Restricted FID card will cost only $25
You must be 18 to apply or 15 with parental consent
This will allow you to carry mace or pepper spray only
Up until this point in the video I've only mentioned state iussued licenses
There are Federal licenses commonly refered to as FFL's
And for the most part people looking to get FFL's are dealers or manufacturers
If you're a real firearm enthusiast and you want to get your FFL
You can do it, it's going to cost you some more money
And I think there are at least eleven different types of FFL's
I don't know I'm not really sure about the federal licenses
I'm sure there are some other people that can educate me on that out there on YouTube
Feel free to write in the comments if you know all about FFL's
Another interesting fact there's another license out there
I think it's issued by the state of Utah
The Utah non-resdident CCW
And this would allow you to carry and conceal a firearm in 31 states
I believe it costs $100 to get this license
It is not honored in Massachusetts
So don't think, oh I'm in Massachusetts I'm just going to get the Utah non-resdient CCW
It doesn't really work Massachusetts doesn't choose to recognize it
But I guess if you travel a lot and you bring your firearm with you
It might make sense for you to look into getting the Utah non-resident CCW
Thanks for watching
