A friend of mine who used to work at the Harvard Gun Shop in Central Square in the 70's and I were discussing shoplifting in Boston, not being a crime and I used the example of if you have an LTC and walk into a gun store and steal a box of ammo would it be a crime in Boston as you are legally able to possess ammo and in Boston shoplifting is no longer a prosecutable offense
He said it would be because EVERY gun store or ammo store has to RECORD the name and license number of anyone buying ammo in Massachusetts. I told him I have never had my info recorded when buying ammo just have to show LTC. He says that the stores are breaking the law.
My question is, is that true (can't believe it is as at least one store would follow the law)
AND was it the law back in the 70's that shops had to record your info when you bought ammo and report it to the feds?
