Hypothetical

[jkelly1229]

If i were to get a mass out of state license

But didnt feel the need to check a gun every time

Could i theoretically purchase a firearm and leave it at someones house?

Could I also give someone the money to buy themselves a firearm and let me borrow it when i visit?

all my relatives decided they needed to live in the finer places in new england...i.e near the worcester projects...and in dorchester

I don't go anywhere without a gun in the South but id like to not go anywhere with out a gun in the north either

Just bring one to leave in Mass - you can't buy one here but you could leave one in a safe in someone's home

Or, I'll store it for you in my safe. Just leave a case of ammo for it so I can periodically test it to make sure its functional when you need it.

I'll take, how to walk yourself into a felony for $500, Alex.

I kinda figured this was out... more around can i borrow a gun from someone? Or is that a no no

I don't think there is a law against borrowing firearms.

"Borrowing" is fine. Posting on a very public forum 'I'm going to straw purchase', even if you are absolutely legal to buy in both places, the phrasing and intent count.

Edit: I'll say 'borrowing' is fine where I am. If you live behind the Demonic Curtain, you may need to consult a lawyer or 3, take the consensus, and retain the 2 you went with.

Does said firearm comply with MA laws (i.e. magazine capacity)? Does said someone have a MA LTC / FID ?

If Yes/Yes, it would seem to be acceptable, assuming you purchase it in your home state and transport it to MA in a legally compliant fashion.

Technically it'd be a gift

But I don't think id do this anyways Im pretty lazy and I heard mass is a bitch to get out of state

Just was day dreaming

 

[jkelly1229]

Yes they would

Yes they would

You quoted while I was editing. See second conditional, but it would seem there's a doable path.

Of course, getting and maintaining a MA non-resident LTC is a flaming PITA.

Number two is of those things where each individual part is fine but it’s bad when you put all three parts in the same sentence like that.

If i didnt have family there i would not return

What if the lending transaction is not captured on EFA10 bullshit ?

I only go there twice a year to see my parents. Once they're gone it will be never a year.

Lolwut?

 

[Lank]

Lolwut?

Oh boy. I guess I just outed myself again.

I was under the assumption that lending required efa10...

It is Massholio, sooo

Nope. Only needed if there's a transfer of ownership.

Ok thanks for clearing up.
