"Educational Collector"

[Chris]

One of the exemptions for the AG regs is:

(c) the transfer in question is for the purpose of, and does, directly or indirectly, supply museums or educational collectors with the handguns in question,

In the regulation, it has the definition as:

Educational collector: shall mean an individual who is properly licensed as a bonafide collector pursuant to 520 CMR 7.00, and whose collection is maintained for purposes of display, research, lecturing, demonstration, or historical significance, as opposed to being maintained for personal enjoyment and/or possible future profit.

Now, the Machine Gun license requirements defines "bona fide collector" as basically a person with a C&R license. However, that is in 501 CMR 6.00, NOT 520 CMR 7.00 as the AG's regs refers.

Since I can not seem to find 520 CMR 7.00 on-line, or in Chief Glidden's book, I'm wondering exactly what the criteria is in that one.

Anyone?

Found a link to 520 cmr 7 which has to do with "Boilers"

http://budget.mass.gov/budget/brec08/dpt08/hndps.htm

scroll down and follow the link for 520 cmr 7 and then there is nothing there for 520 cmr 7

Not what you're looking for.

"The Educational Collector exemption is poorly designed, referring to someone who is “properly licensed as a bona fide collector pursuant to 520 CMR 7.00.” That regulation is for a person applying for a license to possess fully automatic guns (referred to by some as select-fire guns). "

That's just it, that CMR DOES NOT refer to the machine guns. GOAL made an error. (Actually the AG is the idiot, but I repeat myself)
