Boston Firearms

Boston Firearms handles Massachusetts LTC courses and multi-state concealed carry training at their Everett location. Here's what sets them apart: they use real firearms in their indoor range during training. No plastic guns, no simulators. You'll feel the actual weight, trigger tension, and recoil before you walk into your police chief's office.

That matters because most jurisdictions now require proof of live fire training. Police chiefs explicitly look for it on your certificate. Taking a safety course without live fire is like getting your driver's license without ever actually driving.

Basic Firearms Safety Course (MA LTC) — $199 - 3 hours or less, one-time attendance - Covers everything needed for your Massachusetts License to Carry - Includes prep video, hands-on training, live fire range time, student booklet, certification, and application support - For self-defense, sport, or career advancement

Multi License Course (MA and 39+ States) — $299 - Same 3-hour format, covers Massachusetts plus reciprocal licensing in 39 additional states - You apply for 6 state licenses after completing the course: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania - This gives you carry rights in: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming - Note: Rhode Island requires a separate qualification test (not provided by Boston Firearms)
