Massachusetts Training

On September 16, the effective date of section 24 of the Massachusetts Firearms Law was amended. The new requirements for training will not become effective until 18 months after the Act taking effect.

Any person issued an FID or LTC on or before August 1, 2024 will not be required to complete the new BFS requirements or the live fire requirement when the new law takes effect, including when seeking to renew the card or license. However, individuals who apply for an FID or LTC after August1, 2024, but before the Act becomes effective, may be issued an FID or LTC if the applicant is eligible under current law. Those individuals will be subject to the new requirements when they seek to renew the FID or LTC.

PLEASE NOTE:  There is no current approved course available anywhere which fulfills the requirements of the new legislation at this time.

When Massachusetts figures this out, they will update us approved instructors..
