The scenario: Someone (who lives in Boston and does not have a license) just recently lost their father who lived out of state.
They purchased a gun for their father years ago and would like to somehow stay in possession of it in some shape or form.
His wife does not want him to be licensed and getting a license in Boston is hard enough. The gun has never been fired and probably never will be.
What options does he have?
Scenario 1:
Can he bring it up here, I take possession of it at the airport (being licensed) and keep it until he figures out what he wishes to do with it? If he later on gets his MA license or decides to sell it, how would he take ownership of the gun or transfer it to someone else?
Scenario 2:
Send it to an FFL in NH where family members in NH can take ownership and store it (The family is not a 2A family and has no safe, nor the interest to keep it and maintain it).
Is there something I am not thinking of? Are my scenarios breaking any laws? I can't think of how they would.
