In 2020, is a Gun in a home OK, when the resident does not have a LTC ( in the State of MA). Scenario is Dad wants to give Son ( Unlicensed) a Gun for his Home only. Some prior threads appear dated? I thought there might be a recent change on this?

Dont let them in your house! If they try to come in just yell out the window "I have a gun!" They will go away.

Only if you don't get caught. Welcome to the "people's republic of mass"
And just in case my "sarcasm" misses the mark. It is ILLEGAL to be in possession (in home or elsewhere) of a gun in MA without a license.
Has to be from a balcony though. Ask Joe! Ooo, that rhymed.Or fire a shotgun in the air.
You cant even posess a spent brass casing without a license.As far as I know, you can't even legally posses ammo in Mass without paperwork.

I am curious as to where that 21,305 number comes from?......There are 21,305 guns kept in homes without any kind of license. Your odds are pretty good. Jack.
The punishment was for defending herself against the charges. If it was someone less principled, or a less dedicated public defender, it would have just disappeared into the sea of CWOFs that are used to both give the guilty a deal and preserve the ADAs win record when an innocent person is caught up in the system.Regardless of what SCotUS says MA doesn't recognize the fundamental right to posses in the home without a permit.
Think the state won't stomp on you? Look how far the Commonwealth went, sparing no expense, to try and grind a homeless woman that was a victim of prolonged domestic abuse in Caetano V. Massachusetts under their heel all the way up to SCotUS and then proceeded to ignore that unanimous ruling for years.
