Massachusetts License to Carry (LTC) Certification Course
Massachusetts Residents and Non-Residents Welcome
​
Looking to legally carry in Massachusetts? Our Massachusetts License to Carry (LTC) Certification Course is designed for both Massachusetts residents and qualified non-residents seeking to obtain a Massachusetts pistol permit.
Unlike many other states, Massachusetts generally does not recognize out-of-state concealed-carry permits. Possessing a Connecticut, Florida, Utah, Pennsylvania, New York, or New Jersey permit alone does not authorize you to carry a handgun in Massachusetts. To lawfully carry in the Commonwealth, you must obtain a Massachusetts-issued License to Carry (LTC).
​
Whether you live in Massachusetts or reside elsewhere, our comprehensive training program provides the education, guidance, and support necessary to begin the Massachusetts application process.
​
Why Obtain a Massachusetts License to Carry?
The Massachusetts LTC is the only permit that allows qualified individuals to lawfully carry a concealed handgun in Massachusetts. If you frequently travel to Massachusetts for business, vacation, family, or recreation, obtaining a Massachusetts LTC is essential.
