Which of the following is a legal requirement for transporting large capacity firearms in Massachusetts?

They must be disassembled and stored in separate containers
No special requirements as long as the individual has an LTC
They must be unloaded and locked in a trunk or secure container
They can be transported freely without special considerations

The correct answer is: They must be unloaded and locked in a trunk or secure container

The correct answer highlights a specific legal requirement established under Massachusetts law regarding the transport of large capacity firearms. According to state regulations, when transporting these firearms, they must be unloaded and securely stored in a trunk or a locked container. This requirement serves both to enhance safety during transport and to comply with legal stipulations intended to prevent unauthorized access. Other responses may suggest varying degrees of requirements; however, they do not align with the stringent rules established for large capacity firearms in Massachusetts. For instance, while some might think that simply holding a License to Carry (LTC) would suffice for unrestricted transport, the law mandates specific precautions to ensure the firearm is not readily accessible during transport. The requirement for secure storage reflects a commitment to both safety and legal compliance, ensuring firearms are transported responsibly.
