Are private firearm sales allowed in Massachusetts without going through a licensed dealer?

Yes, for all types of firearms
No, all transactions must be processed through a licensed dealer
Yes, but only for shotguns and rifles
Yes, but both parties must report the sale to the state within 7 days

The correct answer is: Yes, but both parties must report the sale to the state within 7 days

In Massachusetts, private firearm sales are allowed without going through a licensed dealer, but both parties involved in the transaction must report the sale to the state within 7 days. This reporting requirement helps maintain a record of private firearm sales and ensures that both parties follow the state regulations regarding firearms transactions. Option A is incorrect because not all types of firearms can be transferred in private sales without involving a licensed dealer. Option B is incorrect as it states that all transactions must be processed through a licensed dealer, which is not the case for private sales in Massachusetts. Option C is incorrect because private sales are not limited to shotguns and rifles only; the requirement for reporting private sales applies to all types of firearms.
