    Boston Legal episode tonight

    Many people have pistols in MA. In my experience, if you flash a BBO (board of Bar overseers) ID at the entrance, you are exempt from metal detecting/search. There was one very, very stupid attorney in MA who used to brag about bringing a concealed handgun into court. To the best of my...

    Joining the armed forces.

    I'm technically not AD until early on Tuesday, when I swear in again. The military.com link should display a pay scale that looks like the official DoD 2005 pay scale. I didn't compare side by side. Per my read, an E-1 gets slightly less than that for the first few months, then bump up...

    Joining the armed forces.

    Hello. I ship to Lackland AFB on Tuesday. Spent a great deal of time with US Army prior to that. I am 23 years old, and do not stand to benefit if you join the armed forces. From my experience, pay close attention to recruiters. Most are good people in a tough job, a few are not...

    Nunchucks?

    Welcome to MA. I hope that you enjoy your time here. To the point: read the laws. I recall, somewhat dimly, an exemption for possession by martial arts practitioners. Possession, specifically; not carry. In my experience: most MA practitioners will not encounter any hassle from police...

    OEF_VET comes for a visit.

    A very nice shot. If I read his vest properly, primary reloads are shell loops on right floating ribs. Strong hand feeds them into the magazine tube? I see hat OEF VET has posted a reply. I take it, then, that his visit was expected. Best regards all. -Ben

    Need advise on letter for Non-Resident CCW

    Between February and December of 2004, I spent a great deal of time preparing LTC applications. Did several dozen, with good success rate. Spent about ten hours getting all my info together for RI application. I live seven miles from border, work part time for a FFL, threatened by clients...

    MA LTC renewal: "All Lawful Purposes"

    Final suggestion - if you do decide to write something explaining why you want the ALP LTC A, call the station's non-emergency phone number during normal hours. Inquire politely who the licensing officer is. Get the proper spelling of his/her name. Keep the letter to the point. If you...

    MA LTC renewal: "All Lawful Purposes"

    Some towns will issue an ALP if thats what you apply for. That's how I got mine @ 21 years of age. No explanation required on Non res LTC application if I recall correctly. Good luck.

    I'm a newbie to guns, with some questions.

    Hi. I'm left handed. I'm an NRA instructor for Rifle and Pistol. Short version - you will be able to shoot most firearms w/o any particular problems. Reloading takes an extra half second or so most of the time.

    MA LTC renewal: "All Lawful Purposes"

    There are a few attorneys who do application preparation for just this situation. I don't recommend their services. I worked as a legal assistant for one, and spent the better part of ten months writing LTC packages. The idea is to write up a convincing short essay emphasizing your...

    DC circuit goes "quack"

    I doubt very much that, were this to occur, it would have the desired effect. The Supreme Court has tremendous discretion, and is not subordinate to the DoJ.

    What do you mean? Just by cutting off most of the CTAC holster that would be below the triggerguard?

    Permit Renewal Time - Need CCW Advise

    Hi. 3rd rail - you live in Hull? I've had a great deal of experience in this realm, including some with the attorneys who do application prep. Here are a few of my general experiences in a nutshell. I just worked a 16 hour shift, so they are rambling, and out of order. First...
