Handguns
Rifles and shotguns with a barrel length of less than 16 inches
Rifles and shotguns with a barrel length of 16 inches or more
None, all firearms require a license

The correct answer is: Rifles and shotguns with a barrel length of 16 inches or more

In Massachusetts, rifles and shotguns with a barrel length of 16 inches or more do not require a license to possess inside a home or place of business. This exemption is based on the state laws regarding firearms possession. Handguns and rifles/shotguns with a barrel length of less than 16 inches both require a license to possess in Massachusetts, making them incorrect choices. The correct answer, option C, meets the criteria for firearms that are exempt from requiring a license for possession in certain settings within the state.
