Can I private sale / transfer my AK in Mass? I have tried to find a clear answer on this one but am having some trouble.

Thanks!

Yes. How you go about doing it legally depends on federal and, depending on where you live, possibly state law. In other words, you'll need to provide more information to get an answer.

If you are in Mass...no one really knows per AG new "guidelines". Though you will get multiple "guesses" from many.

Obviously you can unless you live in MA. A simple search would reveal 100's of answers.

IANAL. With that being said, I would't transfer ANYTHING until this BS is squared away. Assuming you live in MA.

If you are in MA, no one really knows. But if you do ask the AG's office, get their answer in writing since it'll be subject to change at any time.

Plenty have been selling if they owned before the 20th. But yea no positive answer "YET"

But since it can change anytime...getting a respond in writing won't help. You're back to no one knows.

Hey! Let's change this thread to a price gouging thread...just kidding drgrant...

From my understanding, you can transfer it, but only to someone in another state who can legally purchase it in their state.

The fact there is already 6 different opinions on this thread is why I personally wouldn't xfer anything....

Sorry I should have put mass in the subject line

Might, and I do mean might, help with his defense when the guidance changes and she decides to prosecute. It's better than nothing.

Like Nike, Just Do It! [emoji48]

Seriously you may have to make your own decision because it is as clear as her reinterpretation is.

What the written law literally says has no bearing on what the AG 'interprets' the law to mean or arbitrarily decide she has the authority to prosecute someone for.

We can't tell you how to follow the law when the actual letter of the law is not what is being enforced.

If it's (import ban or '94) pre-ban, it's very, very safe to sell it. If it's not, it's gray area due to the AG BS.

Why would you want to, hang on to that baby as long as you can.

 

[MAJoe]

No.

Lock this thread please.

Nobody knows. Until then, I'm closing this.
