I know the questions regarding moving into Mass with firearms you owned in another state have been asked, but I haven't heard anyone mention what to do if you screw that up.
I was speaking with an acquaintance the other day about my love of things that go boom, and he told me he owned a gun as well. I invited him to go shooting with me, and his response was that he didn't think he could because he didn't have an LTC.
Apparently he bought the gun in New Jersey when he lived there several years ago. He had a New Jersey license at the time and did everything by the books, but when he moved to Massachusetts six years ago, he did not apply for a Mass LTC. It's been sitting in a safe in his home in Mass every since.
My first thought is that he needs to apply for an LTC immediately, but I'm not sure if that will bring about any consequences for having the gun without a license all this time. If he doesn't have to file an FA-10, there's no way anyone would know if he's kept the gun here, or kept is stored in Jersey all this time, right?
