Donnell case was appealed by the state

[KBCraig]

I read at some point that the big omnibus MA anti-gun law that took effect 8/1 included some protections for non-resident carry. I know it's a huge mess of a law, and there have been 'leventy billion posts about it on multiple threads.

If that was actually included in the final version, was it just an attempt to nullify the Donnell case?

This and to head off a challenge to the new non-res requirements.
The new law allows non-res to carry while driving through the state but restricts it to within you direct control, while in your vehicle. So no stops, and when you're out of the car you must conform to MA laws including the need for a carry license.
So your 2a rights don't "end" at the boarder, they are just ridiculously restricted.

The new non-res allows only for specific reasons and ALP isn't one of them,

They are hoping to head off the challenge by saying "yes of course you can carry, but there are restrictions"
