Hi all,
I live in a shitbox town (Medford) and have an LTC-A with the Target and Hunting Restriction. My understanding is that part of the definition of this restriction includes "for protection in the home" or something to that effect, although to my knowledge, the interpretation is also up to the CoP of the town. I take this to mean that I am good to carry my firearm within the confines of my apartment.
So here's my question: Does MGL have a specific definition of apartment WRT this scenario? In other words, are the shared hallways, driveway, roof (which is accessible), front porch, etc...included in the areas I'm allowed to carry, or am I strictly limited to inside the portion of the building I am leasing?
This being Mass, I'm assuming that stepping over the threshold of my door into the shared hallway/stairwell would be a violation of the restriction. Does anyone have any experience of knowledge about this? Sorry if this has been asked before. I searched!
