How long is a License to Carry (LTC) valid in Massachusetts before it needs to be renewed?

  1. 1 year

  2. 3 years

  3. 5 years

  4. 6 months

The correct answer is: 5 years

A License to Carry (LTC) in Massachusetts is valid for 5 years before it needs to be renewed. This means that an individual who obtains an LTC will have the right to carry a firearm for protection and hunting purposes for a period of 5 years. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that an LTC is only valid for 1 year, which is not the case. Option B is also incorrect because it states that an LTC is valid for 3 years, which is a shorter time period than the correct answer. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that an LTC needs to be renewed every 6 months, which is incorrect and would be a very short period of validity. Therefore, the correct answer is option C, as an LTC in Massachusetts is valid for a period of 5 years before it needs to be renewed.
