Yup - you have to take a state approved course for security officers, pass a test and then you're licensed. I think the license is good for one year, but I'm not sure. I never got around to doing that.

NR = Non-Resident
LTC = MA's "permission slip" to own, possess, etc. any guns
MA = PRM = People's Republic of My-ass-achusetts!![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")

Make sure your vehicle is in safe and legal working order, don't call attention to yourself, ie don't speed or be an id10t on the highway and no one will know.
If you have to, play Mickey the Mute and keep your mouth shut.

As far as I know - and I could be wrong - this has mostly been an issue for NR showing up at the NYC airports and trying to declare their guns to legally FLY out some where else.
If you are just driving THROUGH the state, with your gun and ammo locked up properly in the trunk, you would have to give the cops reason to both pull you over, AND reason to search your vehicle. You're more likely to be struck by a meteor than have that happen, I think.
And you would still be covered by the Fed travel law in the extremely unlikely event that happened.

Mass is not a great travel state. Yes, I'm covered going hunting or to a competition, but not to just travel to a friend in Connecticut, and have my firearms locked away. Also, I can't legally transport my AR-15 through Mass or NY. It's considered an Assault Weapon.

Nickle,
You are INCORRECT!
MA does recognize FOPA, for traveling THRU MA. In those cases, "no bans", AWB, hi-caps are irrelevant! You can have any/all of these when traveling THRU MA.
Coming to shoot IN MA (w/o MA NR LTC) is another story.

I suspect that the confusion arrises from the distinction in Massachusetts law between carrying (as in the above cited section of MGL) and transporting. FOPA protects transportation, not carrying.

Either way, packing.org says that Mass has ambigious laws on transport at best, and doesn't rate it as a good state to transport through.
NY doesn't, either, but if you're traveling through NY state, it's easy to stay out of trouble. I figure Mass is about the same for staying out of trouble.

Unlike NY, I'm unaware of any actual instances of people traveling through Massachusetts or flying into or out of Logan in compliance with FOPA who have been arrested, charged and had their firearms confiscated. That's happened numerous times at both JFK and at Albany airport.
