Permits for guns climb in Mass.
The number of firearms licenses issued in Massachusetts has climbed by more than one-third in the past five years, a marked shift in a state known for its antigun reputation.
Since 2007, the number of Class A permits — the largest and least restrictive category that allows possession of all legal handguns, rifles, and shotguns — has risen to nearly 260,000, the latest state records show, a 36 percent jump that extends from cities to bedroom communities to small towns.

Large parts of them will issue permits, often like de facto shall-issue.
