Check you qualify
Massachusetts rules are the same in Weymouth as everywhere else: 21+, US citizen or permanent resident, no felony, no active restraining order, no MA DUI since 1994. Seven questions, nothing to fill in.
Three steps, the same for every town in Massachusetts: check you qualify, take the one state-approved class, apply with your own police department. The class is the part we do — about 16 miles from Weymouth, live fire included, license or your money back.

The state-approved course (LTC035). Classroom and live fire on our indoor range in Everett, same day. Massachusetts only $249, or all six states' courses for $349.
Massachusetts licenses are issued by the police department where you live. Bring the certificate of completion from your state-approved class, your ID and the state fee. They set the process, the interview and the timeline.
Your application goes to the Weymouth Police Department — the licensing authority for Weymouth. Applying is your own step; what we do is the training the state requires first.
Online only. All new and renewal applications must be submitted through the MIRCS Unified Gun Portal with a MyMassGov account, and paper applications are not accepted. New applicants submit online, then email Detective Bob Sullivan to request an appointment for an interview and fingerprinting. Renewals need no appointment. New applicants bring a copy of a Massachusetts driver's license or ID, an approved firearms safety certificate, proof of Weymouth residency, a birth certificate or valid U.S. passport (or a permanent resident card or naturalization certificate if applicable), and a bank check or money order. The fee is $100 for new and renewal applications, payable to the Town of Weymouth (no personal checks, cash, or cards).
Weymouth does not accept paper applications and requires proof of citizenship (birth certificate or passport) from new applicants.
