Also, think insurance, medical coverage and licensing requirements.

Constitutional Law
Firearms: Massachusetts is one of the toughest gun control laws. On August 13, 2014, the Governor Patrick signed into a law a new legislation, an Act Relative to the Reduction of Gun Violence.
With the new law, Massachusetts defined a prohibited person, which applies to LTC and FID applicants. Also, there is an additional restriction on holders of the FID card with the “suitability” provision requiring a two-prong standard of review relying upon a “preponderance of evidence.” The new provisions become in effect starting January 2015.
