Another thread here talked about guns manufactured prior to 1900AD not requiring transfer forms because MGL C140S121 excludes guns mfg prior to 1900 (quoted below).
An LTC is issued under C140S131 and so it seems, would not be a requirement to transfer, possess or even carry such a gun. Even the limit of 4 / year is in that range of sections, isn't it?
So (not saying this is a good idea), would it be accurate to say that provided some person's collection consisted exclusively of those guns, s/he could buy/sell/own/carry open/carry concealed as many such guns as they chose? Again, I have no intention of finding out emprically - this is a question along the lines of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
Six-Guns of the old west would never stack up to a modern Glock, but it seems like an interesting gap in the law for a state like the PRM.
All that said, I know we're subject to federal law, too, but that should mainly be a matter of interstate commerce?
Just curious. I'm properly licensed for MA.
