A way to test the waters cheaply

[SnakeEye]

Im ready to send in my massachusetts LTC permit the princely sum of 100$, but i was thinking that perhaps it would be smarter to first apply for a Non-Resident New hampshire permit for only 40$ to test the waters..
For one i get to ensure that im qualified so to speak by using the cheaper out of state one as a test,and secondly would it not strengthen my massachusetts application if i already hold a permit to carry concealed in another state? or is that a non issue?

just food for thought,and curious on others opinions.
Im immentently qualfied,have no criminal history,have more than sufficient training,and meet and exceed all the state requirements.
but somehow, i still feel its not going to be enough..

I'd say that's roughly 6 apples and half a dozen oranges y'all got there.

I did the same, applied in WA state where my parents live to see if I would have any problems there. Got my WA permit now and am just waiting to see when my TX instructor is going to do his next class. I'm kind of torn right now, though. There is a bill in the Texas legislature that would cut the cost in half for a TX CHL for military folks, I'd like to see how fast that goes through the system so I can save $70 in license fees. If it won't pass for a while, I'm going to go ahead and get my CHL now and hopefully save money on the back end in renewal fees.
