I've been on google for about ten minutes, but am unable to find a verdict.
This is a question I have never come up with before. I have transported firearms to various clubs or ranges over the years, but have always gone home after.
I am joining a friend and his family for some hiking this weekend in western Mass in the lower Appalachian hills. We'll be camping out not far from trails, I'm sure. Possibly within the confines of a state park depending on our pace and the weather.
I'm not a hunter. Just really good at putting holes in paper or dinging steel.
I figure a big can of pepper spray is all we'd want/need in case a bear came across us and we couldn't evade it or shoo it off.
However, if I wanted to break down a 12-gauge to bring along for the overnights - would that be legal? Or if paperwork is involved, what would I need to do?
This has never been a question camping in-state for me. Mama Benelli is never out of arm's reach.
