The first thing I think you should do is move Or maybe hold an election

What do you want the gun to do? What is its intended purpose?

Not sure anymore? I saw the Taurus Judge and thought I wanted it.

Then I found out Taurus doesn't submit for

Ma compliance. Then it became a matter of principle of getting the permit since I started last winter. I didn't get a FID. I got a class a large capacity. Its been so long I better go take classes again. I think I can do anything lawful in Ma with that other that automatic.

I always wanted a 410 and a 16 gauge for hunting but I stopped hunting 30 something years ago.I probably can't walk the 10 miles a day like I use to.

Seeing as you were looking at a 410 (410 gauge??) pistol then I am thinking something along the lines of a 44 mag or 50 cal

I thought it was the dual purpose and the 410 ga that caught my attention. What the heck is a 50 cal? Do they make a handgunlike that?

Is there a "purpose" listed on your FID? Or does that only apply to hand-guns, there?

I'll have to do some research on that question but I believe it is for all lawfull purposes. It would include for protection of life and property. The permit reads:

Commonwealthg of Massachusetts

____________________________________

Class A Large capacity

license to carry firearms(M.G>L>c 140.&131)

restrictions: none

I'll probably just get a shotgun and go hunting up by you at Lake Winni even though I almost hit a deer here on the next street over this morning up . I have a buddy there in Alton Bay.

These are the different permit classes from online.

I believe class B you can carry a pistol or revolver but it needs to be in a lock box at all times. I think it can only be used for target. I'll see if I can find my book to be sure.

Firearms Identification Card - Restricted (mace and pepper spray)

Firearms Identification Card

Class B License to Carry - Non-Large Capacity

Class A License to Carry - Large Capacity

License to Possess a Machine Gun

Check if a Class A Gun Club License *NOTE: Only the Colonel of the State Police can issue a club license.

I think this is the reason I didn't maintain my FID way back when I had one. I didn't want to go check the regulations every time I though about pulling out a gun.
