I need to apply for or renew my pistol permit. How do I do this?

Contact the police department at our main number, or call Chief Beth Bezio at 413-628-1930 to schedule an appointment. Firearms forms are available in the "form center" on this website.

Note: You should apply to renew your permit prior to your birth date.  This will allow the existing permit to stay active even after it expires, assuming the application process has started but not completed before the expiration date.  If you wait to file for renewal after your birth date, which is when the card expires, then you cannot legally possess or carry a firearm in the Commonwealth.  There is no grace period!
