What is the grace period for renewing a Firearms Identification Card (FID) or a License to Carry (LTC) in Massachusetts?

There is no grace period
30 days before expiration
60 days before expiration
90 days after expiration

The correct answer is: 90 days after expiration

In Massachusetts, there is a grace period of 90 days after the expiration of a Firearms Identification Card (FID) or a License to Carry (LTC). This grace period allows individuals to continue to possess and carry firearms legally even after their card or license has officially expired, as long as they submit their renewal application within that timeframe. This provision helps ensure that responsible gun owners do not inadvertently become unlawful due to administrative delays in processing renewals. Other options, including the absence of a grace period or designated periods for renewal prior to expiration, do not align with Massachusetts regulations, which specifically provide this 90-day window for renewals.
