    Yes, but your town may have additional requirements.

    Getting licensed.

    No problem. MA needs more gun owners! An FID allows to buy and possess "non-large capacity" rifles (i.e. ten rounds or less) and shotguns. It lets you use these weapons for hunting and target, and you are allowed to transport them (locked and unloaded) to and from target & hunting locations. No...

    Getting licensed.

    I actually just applied for and received my LTC Class A. First, I would recommend reading the FAQs here: http://massgunlaw.com/ Second, you don't need an FID first, you can take the 'NRA Basic Pistol Safety Course' without a permit. Also, most classes provide a pistol to use for the class...

    Do you own one or more firearms? (Yes, really.)

    Took a while to get my license to carry (living in Mass.), bought my first firearm in March: Beretta 92FS. I plan on expanding my collection with a Remington 870 in the near future.

    What does your state's constitution say about the RKBA?

    The Massachusetts one was already posted, so here is my former home state. Vermont: “That the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the State as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; and that the military should...

    If you were to move to a PRO-GUN state, which one?

    I would move to Vermont (where I grew up). As for having a CCW permit for other states, one can get a NH out of state permit with a letter from your Vermont town police chief. Once you have the NH permit, you can use that in other states that allow, or you can use your NH permit to apply for...

    puppies

    Nibbling on ears is a sign of affection, so if she chomps on it she must really like ya! I found this guide to training retrievers on the Ducks Unlimited site: http://ducks.org/Hunting/RetrieverTraining/171/RetrieverHome.html And another THR-er recommended "Water Dog" by Richard Wolters...

    puppies

    Congratulations on the pup. So far mine (Golden Retriever, 4 months) only hunts for tennis balls, but I am working on training him to have a healthy distrust of government ;) . I just started working with a Dokken and some bumpers, we'll see how it goes.

    Ruger Mark III -- is cleaning possible?

    As far as price goes near Boston, check out Four Seasons: http://fsguns.com/fsg_new_hg.html "$359 for stainless and $299 for blue." I haven't shopped there myself, but I've heard good things about them. Also, A&G Guns in Lowell: They have some MkIIIs on their inventory page, but no...

    Also, their Plain Language Summary of the regulations might be helpful: http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/dfw_plain_language.htm#mig "Stamps should not obscure the face of the license. When electronic licenses are issued, stamps may be imprinted on the license or on an accompanying form and the...

    MA hunting license?

    I have absolutely no experience (w/ hunting in MA), but I googled 'Mass hunting regulations' and found the Mass Wildlife Migratory Bird Regulations for 2006 - 07 Season PDF http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/dfwpdf/dfw_migbird_regs.pdf It states: "STAMPS - Each waterfowl hunter 16 years or older...

    I'm taking the NRA Basic Pistol Course tomorrow at Instructional Shooting Inc, in Lowell MA: http://www.instructionalshooting.com/ They sent me "Basics of Pistol Shooting: NRA Handbook" which I am supposed to be familiar with before attending. Other than that, no experience or prior knowledge...
