Who is eligible to obtain a Firearms Identification (FID) Card in Massachusetts?

Anyone who applies
Persons over 21 only
Persons with a criminal record
Persons 15 years of age or older with parent or guardian consent or persons 18 years and older without any disqualifying conditions

The correct answer is: Persons 15 years of age or older with parent or guardian consent or persons 18 years and older without any disqualifying conditions

The correct answer is D because Massachusetts law states that persons 15 years of age or older may obtain an FID card with parent or guardian consent or persons 18 years of age and older without any disqualifying conditions. This age requirement applies to all applicants and not just persons over 21. Option A is incorrect because an individual still must meet the age and eligibility requirements to obtain an FID card. Option B is incorrect because although persons over 21 are eligible, it is not the only age group that can obtain an FID card. Option C is incorrect because individuals with a criminal record may be disqualified from obtaining an FID card, but this does not mean that all persons with a criminal record are automatically ineligible. Therefore, the most comprehensive and accurate answer is option D.
