Our Massachusetts License to Carry (LTC) Classes Are Taught by Retired Police Officers

If you're looking to obtain your Massachusetts License to Carry (LTC), one of the most important steps is enrolling in a certified firearms safety course. But not all classes are created equal. For the best experience—and the most confidence in handling and understanding firearms—consider taking your LTC class with Mass Firearm Safety Training. Our instructors are retired police officers.

​

Why Choose LTC Classes Taught by Retired Police Officers?

Retired law enforcement professionals bring decades of real-world experience to the classroom. They’ve not only trained extensively themselves but have also worked in high-pressure situations where firearms safety, awareness, and responsibility are critical. That means you're not just learning from a textbook—you’re gaining firsthand knowledge from professionals who’ve lived it.

​

Our instructors offer insight that goes beyond the basics. They can answer your questions about Massachusetts gun laws, situational awareness, and what to expect during interactions with law enforcement while carrying. Their training often includes a deeper understanding of both legal and practical firearm usage, which can give you added peace of mind and preparedness.

What You’ll Learn in a Massachusetts LTC Class

To qualify for your License to Carry in Massachusetts, you must complete a state-approved firearms safety course. These classes typically include:

• Basic firearm safety rules

• Understanding Massachusetts gun laws

• Proper handling, storage, and transportation of firearms in Massachusetts

When taught by retired officers, you may also receive bonus instruction on defensive mindset, threat assessment, and home protection strategies.

​

The Application Process

Once you’ve completed your LTC class, you’ll receive a safety certificate. This certificate is required when submitting your application to your local police department. The application process involves:

• Submitting your certificate and completed LTC application

• Undergoing a background check

• Fingerprinting and an in-person interview with your local licensing authority

Every town or city in Massachusetts may have slightly different processing times or local requirements, so it’s wise to check with your local police department.

Start Your LTC Journey with Confidence

Whether you're interested in personal protection, home defense, or simply exercising your Second Amendment rights responsibly, the first step is quality education. Choosing an LTC class taught by retired police officers ensures you’re learning from instructors who take safety seriously and who understand the responsibilities that come with firearm ownership.
