got my MA LTC-A (of course with sport restrictions.... arg!) 6.5 weeks after the range test. It's the not knowing that got to me-- and my friendly neighborhood postal workerPoor lady had to deal with me running out the door and slobbering all over her like an over-friendly puppy every morning. Now just waiting for the Utah non-res to come in, and I should be all set for my southern roadtrip at the end of August.

Oh yeah, I can finally PURCHASE a firearm now!

I am currently looking into MA-legal Glock 19's, m&p 9, sr9c, possibly a P95 or an older Springfield P9. Hard to decide between a nice CCW mid-sized and a lovely full size pistol... anyone have any road trip stories/preferences?

I'm leaning towards the smaller pieces as easier to conceal and travel with, and the fact that once I hit California, I can finally get a CZ

Congratulations.

Does LTC = License to carry? Do you really need one of these to buy a gun?

Who was governor of MA?

In MA yes. There are lesser licenses that allow ownership.

But the class A is the good one.

Makes me glad I live in a state where I don't need a permit to exercise what I consider to be my constitutional rights.

Well you have the right to drive and own a car but you still need a permit for that.

This argument again?

Why in CA?

I'm moving to CA with my wife in August. CZ's aren't legal in MA (stupidstupidstupid-- lots of safety features, have been around since before I was born, and are tried-and-true high-quality machines) but it is what it is.

Right now I'm about 80% sure I'm driving to the Cape to buy a MA- and CA-legal Glock 19 in a week or so.

thanks for the good wishes-- it will be nice to not feel like I'm cheating the rules when I shoot

So, additional question-- does anyone here with big hands shoot an SR9c? and are there hogue grips for it?! It seems that a huge part of my accuracy (or lack thereof) depends on some sticky rubber grips...

I have a new sr9c and size 9 hands (medium) so I can't help with that. I have not seen hogue grips for it but Galloway Precision has some custom tacky sticky-back grip overlays for $8.

Isn't that so sad that someone is looking forward to coming to California so that they can have more firearms freedom...
