Ammo from RI to MA?

[chupa88]

Can a friend from RI who does not have any LTC or FID permit transport ammo from RI into MA for me? Ammo in RI is apparently much cheaper than MA and RI doesn't require a permit to buy ammo.

Thanks!

No.

if RI doesnt require a permit to buy why not just go there?

cuz my friend is coming into town. I thought I would send him to Walmart to pick up a few boxes on his way up. But it sounds like he can't, so I may just have to go myself one wknd.

Thanks!
