1. Meanwhile in Florida...

The state’s ban on the open carrying of firearms has been struck down.

Residents may now open carry with impunity - no classes, background checks, references, or interviews.

2. Those restrictions are similar in Canada

At least in British Columbia.

3. I don't think that's accurate

Here is a link to the site that lists the requirements:

4. I don't agree with the police interview

What if the sheriff or police chief is a racist who doesn't think black people should be allowed to have guns? Or doesn't trust LGBTQ citizens with guns?

5. I don't see any such requirement at the mass.gov website

6. Checking the rest of that bluesky account

...brings up all sorts of junk.

It may be that since the application for an LTC or a FID goes through the local police, the implication is that you drop it off in person. That's very different than an interview.

Also, in general, that process is messed up since it basically means giving the regime a list of blue staters who own firearms. No thanks.

7. I don't see any requirement for two character references either
