I've heard a lot of conflicting things about whether or not it's currently ok to carry a magazine with over 10 rounds in the city limits of Boston. I have done a lot of searching, but found old posts and most of them were not conclusive. Does anyone have any current information on this?

Also, what is the definition of Boston? Does anyone know if that includes towns like Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, etc?

Thanks in advance.
 
Yes, all the villages in Boston are part of the city.

The laws in Boston proper wrt magazines/"assault weapon" possession only apply to subjects who live in the City of Boston, not to visitors or people traveling thru the city.
 
The Boston law prohibits Boston residents from possess high-cap long gun magazines. It cannot restrict non-residents of Boston nor does it affect handgun magazines.
