Is it legal to carry a loaded firearm in public in Massachusetts without a License to Carry?

Yes, if the firearm is not concealed
Yes, with a Firearms Identification Card
No, under any circumstances
Yes, but only for self-defense

The correct answer is: No, under any circumstances

Explanation In Massachusetts, it is illegal to carry a loaded firearm in public without a valid License to Carry. Option A is incorrect because even if the firearm is not concealed, a License to Carry is still required. Option B is incorrect because a Firearms Identification Card only allows possession of non-large capacity rifles and shotguns, not carrying them in public. Option D is incorrect because self-defense is not a valid reason for carrying a loaded firearm in public without a License to Carry.
