I know in MA there are no licensing requirements for pellet guns. However there is an age requirement of 18... I believe.
My son is 17 and has an FID card. I believe he can legally carry a low cap rifle or shotgun, properly secured, in the trunk of a vehicle to the range. Is this correct?
Am I also correct in saying he would not be legally able to do the same with a pellet rifle? That his FID card has no standing with regards to the Gamo pellet rifle?
If my thought process is correct, that means my 17 year old son is legally able to carry a .308 bolt action rifle or 12 gauge shotgun in the trunk, but not a pellet gun.
Can anyone poke holes in my logic? FYI the reason I am asking is because he received a pellet rifle for his birthday.
Thanks,
Rich
