license required?

[Echo 225]

IN Massachusetts is a firearms license required to sell or purchase a magazine only?

 

[ProGun]

IANAL, but yes.

Edit: Sounds like I was wrong, for 10 round and under mags.

 

[kalash]

For high capacity definitely. For low capacity not sure...

If you have to show a license to buy a magazine, you are supporting the wrong store.

 

[namedpipes]

A magazine is not a serialized part. You can order them by mail. Why would you have to show a license at a shop?

I was asked for an LTC like 10 years ago in Waltham just to buy a couple 8rd 1911 mags. Was told they’re called ‘ammunition delivery devices’ now and require LTC.

Ha!!!!! GAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Yeah for low cap stuff its 110% retarded, its abundantly clear that they're not really regulated at all.

 

[Tallahassee]

Normally I'd agree but IIRC its actually a felony for a mass shop to sell an LCAFD to someone who is "unwashed".

Must have been a rumor I heard. I would never shop at such a store!

The worst is remotes that wont even send things like the 8 round 1911 mags cams was talking about here. I remember I ordered like $110 worth of Krapber mags (at one point I had a gun that seemed to like them) and the f***ers cancelled my order because "MA cooties" and im like dude its an unregulated item! they didnt care.

 

[dezignguy]

Depends on what kind, the real hardcore ones should require some kind of license, playboy and penthouse not so much.

Ya it’s pant shitter territory for some remote shops.
I never went in that store again, have since purchased almost all of my low cap mags online shipped with zero questions asked.

Like I said, not a lawyer, but recall something along this line. BS, but is what it is in the Commiewealth.

Let me guess . . . Walter Duddy's Law Enforcement Supply? <LOL>

 

[kalash]

I went into that Waltham store once when I lived there. He was selling .45 ball for $40+ and 12ga #8 shot was $20. I just laughed and walked out.

I absolutely refuse to spend one nickel with a store that won't ship a 10 round, or less, magazine. They can EABOD.

They won't even sell hollowpoints to mere mortals. The owner was once more concerned with chatting with a coffee buddy about some Italian O/U shotgun he bought for his wife than making a revolver sale to me, so I never went there again.

I went in there once too. About 35 years ago, and never set foot in the place again.

Home of the $50 transfer, and remember, he's doing you a favor!

Go reread MGL 140 131m. It says anyone without a dealers license who violates the section is punished…. So a dealer is in fact not prohibited from the sale of a LCFD.

Thanks for the correction.... for some reason i thought it was linked to the buyer having an LTC or being exempt.

 

[EMTDAD]

I'm sure Bass Pro requires an LTC, just because of how it's coded in the system by the programmers at corporate... Heck, I was asked for LTC for a reloading BOOK, and I f***ing work there.

Bass Pro refused to ship a 10 rd mag to their store because of the ban on LCAFDs. I went back and forth with them for a while, trying to spend a gift card, before I gave up and got some socks.

And all these years I’ve had a much higher opinion of you than to be a kimber guy.....

Check out my experience there many years ago. I doubt much has changed. I wouldn't be surprised if he is still charging sales tax on gun safes and gun locks either.

Really.?? I had 6 of the Magpul 10 rd PMAGs shipped to store back in January. No issues at all.. ordered online ship-to-store..

Ironically I think at the time the reason I had those mags was because the last krapber I had, it seemed to like them, and they dropped free in that
gun. That gun was so f***ed up wilson 47Ds had to go into a buffer to have a shot at dropping free. Glad that thing is gone.

It was 6 years ago, maybe they've fixed the policy. At the time, they refused to ship to me or the store because "10 is more than 10" according to the person on their customer chat

Dude...that was EPIC. I understand that 15 years ago $8 was "More money" but to go to all that effort for that amount is awesome.

I know it was not about the $, that it was poor business practice, and sh!tty customer service. One of my pet peeves. D'Angelo's riled me up 35+ years ago, and I still hate them, and will not go there.
