How often must a Massachusetts firearms license be renewed?

  1. Every year

  2. Every 4 years

  3. Every 6 years

  4. Every 10 years

The correct answer is: Every 6 years

In Massachusetts, a firearms license must be renewed every 6 years. This requirement is set forth in state law to ensure that license holders maintain their eligibility and are up-to-date with any changes in regulations or safety training. The renewal process often includes a review of the applicant’s background and may involve an assessment of their suitability to possess a firearm. The other choices suggest various renewal periods that do not align with Massachusetts regulations. Some of these periods may be common in other jurisdictions but do not apply in this case. Adhering to the 6-year renewal timeframe helps ensure responsible firearm ownership and compliance with state laws.
