Note: OUI Conviction disqualifier for LTC - May 27, 1994
OUI Conviction Automatic Disqualifier for License to Carry Firearm
The 1999 Firearms Law now automatically disqualifies anyone from obtaining a license to carry (LTC) a firearm based on a misdemeanor conviction, which carries a penalty of more than two years. Therefore, anyone convicted of OUI will fall into this category. See C140 131. However, OUI only became a 2 1/2 year misdemeanor effective May 27, 1994. Before that, it was only a 2-year misdemeanor. Therefore, anyone convicted of OUI before that date will not automatically be disqualified.
To be eligible to receive a new LTC or to renew an LTC, an applicant must be deemed by the Chief of Police to be a suitable person. The Chief considers factors such as the applicant s reputation in the community, his/her involvement in criminal activities that did not lead to an arrest or conviction, association with known criminals, etc. In addition, the following statutory restrictions affect an applicant s suitability.
Applicant was convicted or adjudicated as a youthful offender anywhere for:

The applicant was convicted of a violent crime. The applicant was convicted of a felony.
Pursuant to Chapter 140, section 129B of the Massachusetts General Laws, the Chief of Police may not deny an applicant s request for an FID Card unless he/she is subject to one of the statutory disqualifications listed above.
