The law is clear. No firearm (not goverend by the NFA) in MA is "registered." There are countless reasons your firearm might not "have any paperwork" that are 100% legal. You can hunt with firearms that aren't yours. That this was not covered in your LTC class is a disservice by your instructor.The gun I am asking about is an old Winchester with just a butt stock no pistol grip I want to make it legal to hunt with in Massachusetts where I live It just doesn't have any paperwork
Apparently this is the same subject Roscoe from that thread.On taking a buck, we need to know whether or not it has a pistol grip.
Somehow you have gotten really bad information about MA gun laws. You need no paperwork. You can hunt with a borrowed gun or a gun you own. You can hunt with a gun the state knows about and a gun the state has no clue exists. Your shotgun can have a pistol grip or no pistol grip. You are mostly creating an issue that does not exist.The gun I am asking about is an old Winchester with just a butt stock no pistol grip I want to make it legal to hunt with in Massachusetts where I live It just doesn't have any paperwork
there are several ways a firearm might have traveled "across state lines" lawfully to find itself in his possession. That alone doesn't make it a problem to transfer it later.A lot of people saying to keep it and don’t do any paperwork but also this gun can’t be legally sold or transferred in that scenario either assuming it came across state lines. Passing down a felony in the family sounds like a real treat for everyone.
What law that says that if an estate includes firearms,... If there's a will, and in it you are listed as the proper recipient, the executor of his estate can simply deliver the shotgun to you. ... If it's not officially bequeathed to you, the feds say you need to visit a FFL to make a transfer.

I'm sure @Len-2A Training or maybe @CrackPot has a better handle on that than I do.What law that says that if an estate includes firearms,
and the recipients are heirs -
either explicitly named, or through the law of kinship and descent,
that the firearms are "inherited" for purposes of gun laws
only if via explicit bequest of specific guns to specific people.
If a gun owner dies intestate,
leaving no spouse and one child,
does the child "inherit" their parent's guns?
If a will says, "my firearms are to go to my children",
but doesn't bequeath specific guns to specific kids,
and the children and the executor all reach a mutual agreement about who gets what,
did the kids "inherit" any guns?

Sometimes I wonder if this is just Megan pecking at the keyboard.Don't make fun of my daddy. He's already changed his name to Rastus, bought a black hoodie and a big hammer and is making shopping lists. Hope that there's some good stuff on there for me. Megan.

did he look like this?I’m still waiting to see if this is the same guy I met just hours before this thread was started. I had a couple words with a lady that works at the post office about covid vs gov bs and this guy overheard my comments to her. He approached me afterwards and struck up conversation that led to asking me almost identical questions about a shotgun and a pistol in MA.
No problems with the conversation we had, seemed like a decent guy, but thought it was funny to read this thread only a couple hours later. Small world for NES’rs in Metrowest?
