So I just picked up a beautiful Kimber Elite Carry from a shop in MA a few days ago and this issue has nagged at me to the point that I need to clear it up. Or at least see what you all had to say.
My Situation: The guys behind the counter at the shop said that this Kimber was purchased in MA by an LEO (only LEO's/Military can purchase Kimbers in MA), he got bored of the gun, and sold it to the store (or it was on consignment, I don't remember).
They explained to me that this Kimber is now free for any Joe Schmoe with the right License to purchase. The fact that it's not on the EOPS list no longer applies since it was owned by an LEO, a MA resident, and is now just considered a MA resident-to-MA resident private sale.
So are they correct? Or did this shop just sell me a Kimber that I cannot own legally here in MA?
FYI: I have a MA Class A LTC Rest: T&H.
Thanks in advance guys. I just want reassurance that this is okay for me to own. And if it turns out not to be, what I need to do with this Kimber since I do not want to be responsible for owning an illegal firearm.
