Get Your MA LTC/FID

The Saturday class is provided by the BGRA and consists of the N.R.A.'s Basic Pistol Safety Course. It is a detailed Power Point Presentation covering all the major requirements for obtaining a License to Carry in Massachusetts. This comprehensive and nationally recognized instructional course includes a detailed overview of all types of pistols and handguns, the various types of calibers and ammunition, fundamental safety concepts and all the necessary requirements for legally carrying a firearm in Massachusetts. Other topics include information regarding safety guidelines for storing, transporting and maintaining your firearm, interstate transport of firearms and a variety of other topics including armed defense, the legal ramifications of using your firearm for defense in the home and elsewhere and insights into the proper mindset and disciplines required to be a safe and legal gun owner in the Commonwealth.

We have added new instructional materials required by recent changes to the Massachusetts Gun Laws (MGL 135 & MGL 140). These include use of force considerations, self-protection and de-escalation techniques and suicide prevention. Students should come prepared with a notebook and expect to contribute actively to our new classroom presentations. They must pass the NRA test following the lecture and pass the live fire qualification at the end of class. Successful completion of the course will allow you to retrieve the Massachusetts State Police Firearms Safety certificate that enables you to begin the process of obtaining the Massachusetts License to Carry (LTC) or FID card.

Students who successfully complete the course will be eligible for a $50 discount for future club membership
