What type of firearm safety course is required for first-time firearm license applicants in Massachusetts?

NRA Basic Gun Safety Course
MA Basic Firearms Safety Course
Hunter Education Course
Any of the above

The correct answer is: MA Basic Firearms Safety Course

The correct answer is that first-time firearm license applicants in Massachusetts are required to take the Massachusetts Basic Firearms Safety Course. This specific course is designed to educate individuals about safe handling, storage, and usage of firearms, in addition to the laws surrounding firearm ownership in the state. While other courses, such as the NRA Basic Gun Safety Course and the Hunter Education Course, may cover relevant safety information and can be beneficial for firearm education, they do not fulfill the formal requirement for applying for a firearm license in Massachusetts as outlined in state law. The Massachusetts Basic Firearms Safety Course is the only one explicitly recognized by the state as meeting the necessary criteria for first-time applicants seeking a firearm license.
