What is the penalty for carrying a firearm without a license in Massachusetts?

  1. A fine of up to $500

  2. Mandatory completion of a firearms safety course

  3. State prison for up to 2 years

  4. State prison for not less than 2.5 years nor more than 5 years

The correct answer is: State prison for not less than 2.5 years nor more than 5 years

Carrying a firearm without a license in Massachusetts is a serious offense. While option A may seem like a significant penalty, it is actually the minimum penalty for this crime. Option B, although requiring the completion of a firearms safety course, does not accurately reflect the severity of the punishment for carrying an unlicensed firearm. Option C is incorrect as state prison is not the penalty for this specific offense. Option D is the correct answer as it states the accurate penalty of not less than 2.5 years nor more than 5 years of state prison. This time frame is based on the length of the sentence given to a person charged with this offense.
