MA law prohibits certain things like posession fo firearms and the purchase of ammo, and then makes exceptions for certain specific situations such as the holder of a license.
In the case of ammunition, there is an exception for the holder of a resident license, but no such exception is written for the non-resident licensing. It's basically an oversight.
In a similar manner, non-resident licensing has a provision for non-citizens to get LTCs, whereas no such provision exists in the resident licensing provision.
Gaps such as this, indended or not, result in some rather strange laws. Since gun owners face organized oppostion to ANY change which would help a gun owner, it's very hard to get this sort of oversight corrected.
