Question: 1 / 400

Is it legal to transport a locked and unloaded firearm through Massachusetts without a Massachusetts license to carry?

Yes, under federal law

Transporting a locked and unloaded firearm through Massachusetts without a Massachusetts license to carry is legal under federal law, specifically under the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA). This law allows individuals to transport firearms across state lines as long as the firearms are not readily accessible and are not loaded. The key stipulation is that while federal law may allow for this type of transport, individuals must also be aware of and comply with state laws, which can impose stricter regulations.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the legal situation. For instance, it is not the case that transportation is illegal under any circumstances; federal law provides protections that may allow for transport. Further, the legality does not change based on hunting season or the residency status in Massachusetts, hence those alternatives do not apply in this context.
