I'm all for pantsless rights I just think we need some common sense pants laws, I think we can all agree on that. Perhaps you could store your pants in an approved container.

Seriously though officer, I will abide by all laws and regulations.
Care to take a guess as to how many "licensed gun clubs" there are in Massachusetts?
I'd seriously be interested in knowing why one couldn't name their residence a gun club? It could have very restrictive membership rules, such as only people who actually reside there can be members.
IANAL, but it seems to me your options are limited:
1. Sell them legally
2. Move them to a state where they are legal
3. Move with them to a state where they are legal
4. Break law and keep 'em with you in Mass.

It won't pass, if it does, wouldn't hold up in court
Thank you for all who replied and didn't just take me for a troll/narc. I know I am new here, but this could ruin gun ownership in this State if it passes and will affect the few guns I own. I wasn't asking for a roll call of who is going to break this law.
Keep your pants on. It's for the children.
More than there will be if that storage requirement becomes law.

Narc?
Welcome to my clubhouse!
I like the way you think.
I'll take option 2 and follow it with option 3 for $1000 Alex!
I'm certain that it WOULD hold up in a MA court!
As for US District Court, we'd stand a chance but who wants to sit around for 2-3 years to hear the verdict? I'd be out of Dodge long time before that verdict ever came down.
And that is the whole idea . . . to stop all LEGAL gun ownership as best they can or drive some of out of the state so they can live in their version of "utopia"!
Now as to "mechanics" . . .
- The way MGL is currently written almost NO gun clubs qualify to get a MA Club License Class A! MGL requires that any such club be a shareholder club, whereas almost all are not-for-profit or non-profit organizations that PROHIBIT shareholders under the IRS Code.
- No gun club has physical facilities to store a lot of members guns securely. It would require almost 24 hr/day guards, etc. and be very expensive . . . prohibitive. Most MA gun clubs have 300-400 members and operate on a $20-50K/year budget. This would multiply costs probably by factors of 3-10 and dues would drive almost everyone out of said clubs. Also have you ever noticed that many clubhouses have wetlands/conservation-restricted property close to the building, prohibiting them from enlarging the building or building another building, making this a physical/legal impossibility.
- It would set these armories up as a very rich target for organized burglary. Some of us are old enough to remember the many burglaries of National Guard Armories back in the 1960s-70s that organized groups pulled off to arm themselves to fight gov't.
Please, for christ sake I am not a Narc. I am however new to ...
You're not insinuating that our leaders here in Ma. might do something as crooked and devious as not having any clubs authorized to store our arms?

....or something like this
Given the level of corruption in this state gov't, such an order would not surprise me in the least (except it would be a secret order making it illegal for Derek to let us know that he was served).
Thankfully Derek isn't in MA, making that a moot point.
You got me on this, I went looking.

Sure enough! Sorry about the "reality" of it. The fact that you went looking tells us something about where we live don't it?
I believe that the server is in Ma and Derek works in Ma. That would most likeley make him answerable to a Ma. issued suppeona.
Just curious as to how many of you would actually store their weapons at a "licensed gun club" if Linsky's bill comes to pass. I recently purchased an AR and also own a 10/22. I would hate to sell these weapons, but I am NOT going to "rent" them from a gun club. Just my thoughts curious as to all of yours.

NES, right? Yep - brand new account holder innocently asks about my contingency plans if Linsky's abomination passes
And if you have to state you are not a narc... you are better off just letting it be. Either way, you ain't getting anything useful from this thread.
The things people will ask...
P. S. The least you can do is pay to be a green member before you try to entrap people - you can expense that, you know? And just for the record, I plan to obey every MA law forever, or until I move out of state, whichever comes first.
You will never find a gun club willing to accept the liability of storing your guns.
Will someone hurry up and develop a high capacity musket.....the 2nd Amendment is only about muskets after all...
