Anyone planning to go this Saturday or Sunday? One of the guys I was planning to go with is in the hospital and it looks like the other couldn't get his wife to sign his permission slip.

I'll try to get up there some time tomorrow. Lots of items needing to be addressed first so I don't have a time schegule in stone. Some friends from Harvard going but they are awaiting liberty calls from spouses etc. so nothing concrete there either.
Short answer NO you cannot.
You can however find a dealer that is willing to sell you a handgun, then ship it to a MA dealer for you to pick up. Though when you figure in shipping, and then a transfer fee on the other end, you probably won't save any money. Unless you are buying a pre-98 Glock that doesn't have an over inflated price tag for just being in the state!

You can find a MA dealer at the show and have them do the transfer at their table.
This is probably a level 1 question but, as a Mass resident, can you legally buy a handgun at the Manchester show as long as it's on the "approved" list? I'm assuming that it is and that the buyer would then fill out the FA10 to register it.
Last year there was a sign at the garage saying the cost for parking (Pretty expensive), but I think I heard someone say they were able to park for free.I'm planning to be there tomorrow mid-morning. Funny - every time I've gone, I've parked in the parking garage for free. Maybe they've started charging - that sucks.
No. Interstate gun sales of any kind have to be from a FFL in the originating state to a FFL in MA. Who in turn would transfer it to you.
The only exception would be a handgun on the C&R list.

Gary,
PLEASE, PLEASE read the stuff that I've posted dozens of times before you give advise on gun laws!
I know that you mean well, but you are giving very incorrect legal advise to folks!
In this case, you are going overboard so nobody would get in trouble following your advise, other than in their wallet!
I believe that the doors open at 9 AM. Let's hope that the show is as good as it was last year.

Did you guys notice if anyone was selling AR lowers?
A decent show, but I left empty handed. The best deal on 7.62X39 ammo was $175/1000 from the table that sells powder, while the ammo guy had it for $185.00/1000.
