Confused about MA gun laws and "The Lists"...
I purchased an FNX-9 while I was living in VT, as a VT resident. Then I decided I need to find a better paying job, and moved to MA. Now, I'm living here with my LTC-A and I'm thinking of making a road trip to VT to get my pistol. The problems however, are many, and I was hoping someone here could assist me with finding answers.
1. The magazines are 17-round and AFAIK, FN has no plans to make 10-round mags. If I modify the magazines myself so they can only hold 10 rounds, does that make them MA compliant?
2. There are no FN pistols on any MA approved lists that I've seen. It's my understanding that there are two lists, one that allows for dealers to transfer pistols, and one that the AG says are safe and legal for MA residents to own. If my pistol is not found on either list, is it illegal to possess in MA?
3. Assuming that 1 and 2 both allow me to possess the pistol, am I allowed to privately transfer it to another MA citizen?
Thanks all!
