So I have a question for the more knowledgeable here at NES.
I have been approached by someone who is in possession of a handgun in Massachusetts. I am located in Massachusetts. The current owner does not have an LTC. The firearm came down to him from his father who brought it back as a war trophy from WWII. Based on the serial number it looks like it was manufactured in 1935. I have seen the Army paperwork and have a copy.
As a C&R holder am I able to purchase this firearm directly from the seller? Typically MA law requires person-to-person sales to be between LTC/FID holders. Does it make a difference that this is a C&R eligible handgun?
If I am able to purchase this directly from the seller, how do I record it with the Commonwealth?
