What is required to transport a firearm in a vehicle within Massachusetts?

The firearm must be unloaded and stored in a locked trunk or container
The firearm must be visible at all times
The firearm can be loaded but must be in a holster
No special requirements as long as the person has an LTC

The correct answer is: The firearm must be unloaded and stored in a locked trunk or container

In Massachusetts, the law stipulates that when transporting a firearm in a vehicle, the firearm must be unloaded and stored in a locked trunk or a container. This requirement is designed to enhance safety and minimize the risk of accidents or misuse during transport. The emphasis is on preventing access to the firearm while in the vehicle unless it is being used in a legally permissible manner. The other options do not align with Massachusetts law regarding firearm transportation. Keeping a firearm visible or loaded in a holster does not meet the legal standards for safe transportation, as this could pose significant safety risks. Likewise, simply having a License to Carry (LTC) does not exempt an individual from following these specific transportation regulations.
