Myself personally, I've had my "Class A" as it's called in MA for almost 10 years.....i had to attend a mandatory handgun safety course (which I completed when I was 15!!) and then apply to my local licensing authority-in my case it was the local Police Chief. Then I was fingerprinted and had my pic taken for my license....that's it!! Currently, I'm trying to get my hands on a S&W "scantium" .357 snubnose-VERY lightweight and powerful!!
