What is the grace period for renewing a firearms license in Massachusetts?

  1. There is no grace period

  2. 30 days before the expiry date

  3. 90 days after the expiry date

  4. 180 days after the expiry date

The correct answer is: 90 days after the expiry date

The correct answer is that the grace period for renewing a firearms license in Massachusetts is 90 days after the expiry date. This means that if your firearms license expires, you have a three-month window to renew it without facing penalties or needing to start the application process over again. This grace period allows individuals some leeway to ensure they can continue to possess and use their firearms legally while completing the renewal process. The other options do not accurately reflect the regulations regarding license renewal in Massachusetts. There is a designated timeframe for renewal that provides flexibility; however, waiting longer than 90 days after expiration would result in the need for a new application.
