I did a search on the forum here and couldn't find a similar situation so here goes. A friend of mine moved to Massachusetts from the southwest about 10 years ago. He had a 9 mm Ruger but did not go through the proper channels to get it transferred here. He has never bothered to get an FID or LTC here nor has he even shot the firearm. It has just sat in a box in his house. He has offered to give it to me as I just recently got my LTC. I'd like to take it but I don't know how or if it is even possible at this point to take ownership. I have looked it up and it is not Mass compliant so that is another strike against it. I believe he bought it in about 2000 so it would not be pre-ban either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
