I thought I'd start this thread in case there were a slew of MA folks in the situation of having their receipt (since Jan 1, 2015) in hand while still awaiting their actual license to arrive.
So this much I (think I) know:
`- Possession of the MA LTC renewal "receipt" while you await your new license allows you to continue to legally possess your firearms, without concern for how long it takes for the renewal license to arrive.
- It allows you to legally carry your firearm concealed.
- According to one NES'r and one NES'r/FFL, it permits you to transfer a firearm, including sell to an FFL.
- According to one NES'r, it permits you to purchase a firearm.
- However, according to one NES'r/FFL it does not permit you to sell a firearm.
Is this one of those "it depends on the gunshop" YMMV kind of things?
Is the sale/purchase different if conducted through an FFL versus FTF?
Can a sale/purchase be made with an eFA10 (does the fancy schmancy software allow it)?
Thanks in advance for all the "IANAL but this was my experience" responses...
