Who is responsible for issuing a License to Carry in Massachusetts?

  1. The Mayor's Office

  2. The Local Police Department

  3. The State Police

  4. The Department of Criminal Justice Information Services

The correct answer is: The Local Police Department

In Massachusetts, the local police department is responsible for issuing Licenses to Carry (LTC). The Mayor's Office does not have the authority to issue LTCs. While the State Police have jurisdiction over all firearms licensing in Massachusetts, they do not issue LTCs directly. Rather, they provide oversight and support to the local police departments who are responsible for issuing LTCs. The Department of Criminal Justice Information Services is also involved in the LTC application process, but they are not responsible for issuing the license itself. Therefore, the correct answer is B The Local Police Department.
