Hi All,
Sorry to bother you but after reading posts for hours on this forum I couldn't find an answer nor could I find one on the states website.
My father moved to MA from NH about 8 years ago and brought with him a handgun and rifle. He never got his license and has had them in the closet since then collecting dust. I understand he should have got his LTC when he moved but he did not. Can I take possession of the guns if I have an LTC in MA, which I do? The law makes it pretty clear that to sell or transfer a firearm both parties have to have a license in this state and in this case only I have the license.
I'm not sure what to do and I don't want to take to possession of them illegally and I also don't want him to continue to have them illegally either. Not sure if I should just register the guns on an FA-10 to me? Any advice? Thank you.
