What must individuals do to legally sell a firearm privately in Massachusetts?

Notify their local police department
Complete a state-approved firearm transfer form
Obtain a permit from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security
Both B and C

The correct answer is: Both B and C

To legally sell a firearm privately in Massachusetts, individuals must complete a state-approved firearm transfer form and obtain a permit from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. This requirement is in place to ensure a regulated and transparent process regarding the transfer of firearms, promoting responsible ownership and helping to prevent illegal sales. Completing the transfer form provides a record of the transaction, which is crucial for tracking firearms and maintaining public safety. The permit from the Executive Office adds another layer of oversight, ensuring that sellers are compliant with all state regulations regarding firearm transfers. Together, these requirements help to establish a framework that supports accountability and lawful conduct in the sale of firearms.
