Thanks Jdub.
I *think* I see. 140 129C http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/140-129c.htm says see 140 129B (6) http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/140-129b.htm which says the FID card is not good for Large capacity feeding etc but because we have already nipped that one with 501.CMR 7.02 http://www.mass.gov/Eeops/docs/chsb/... CMR 7.pdf that tells us that Large capaciity is OK as long as it is nowhere near the firearm etc... See earlier post above. That said, it appears the FID card would cover me in my own home or business. But you are mentioning the "followup trickery" that would make me think this is correct, is in fact NOT CORRECT. Help me here please.
Please understand I am not arguing, just trying to figure it all out. i think I am slowly getting it.
Thanks

PS. I am actually hoping to take this to another level after we (I) get it straight. And that is: Is my RV (Large, slide-in fully self-contained truck camper) when mounted in the bed of my truck and traveling thru MA, legally considered my "home" and/or "curtilage" and if so, do I have any legal protection with respect to firearm possession, if they are stored securely, unloaded, and separate from ammunition in the RV? If this is for another thread, let me know, or perhaps one of the moderators will move it at their discretion.
Yep, you're darn close now! The only thing is that the stupid language of C. 269 § 10 has thrown you for another loop. You cannot have any firearm even in your home or business without an FID/LTC. (See C. 140 § 129C, and § 129(6) for the inevitable follow up trickery which would make you think you can possess a handgun or large capacity rifle/shotgun in your home/business with an FID)
