LiCense to carry (LTC) classes

This 6-hour course is a combination of lectures, firearms handling, and shooting. The shooting experience will allow you to receive a "Live-Fire" stamp on your LTC which is a requirement in Springfield and Chicopee.


Note: The minimum age for a LTC in MA is 21. 


MA Residents must have a Firearms Identification (FID) card  in order to: 

  • Purchase, possess, or transport a rifle or shotgun that is not a large-capacity gun; 
  • Purchase or possess ammunition or component parts of ammunition;
  • Purchase or possess defense sprays for anyone age 15-17, a license is not required for 18+


MA Residents must have a License to Carry (LTC) firearms in order to: 

  • Purchase, possess or transport a handgun, large capacity rifle, or large-capacity shotgun.  
  • Purchase, possess, or transport all guns and materials that would be covered by an FID.


If you're married or live with your partner and you keep a handgun or large-capacity rifle/shotgun in the dwelling, your spouse or partner should have a LTC.


If you will be inheriting a handgun or large-capacity rifle/shotgun you should get your LTC.

Course Details

Course Fee: $135


There is a big difference between a non-shooting course and a Live-Fire course that offers a minimum of three (3) firearms to build confidence and promote safe weapons handling.


Participants will shoot revolvers and/or semi-automatic handguns in the following calibers:


  • .22 
  • .380
  • .38
  • 9mm


You will also shoot  either a 410 or a 20 gauge shotgun to receive a "Live-Fire" stamp on your LTC. 


Chicopee and Springfield require a Live-Fire stamp on the certificate to process an LTC.


Private or semi-private lessons are available. Please contact Ed Oey or Eric Stratton.


For those MA residents that want to apply for a CT LTC, contact Ed Oey.


See the Club Calendar for upcoming courses.
