You really have to see this to believe it.
Mass. laws are so convoluted...
From the Mass. State website:
Q: Do I need to lock my non-large capacity rifles and shotguns in a case while transporting them in a vehicle?
A: No. They must be transported unloaded, but are not required to be in a locked case while transporting.
The MGL:
(c) No person possessing a large capacity rifle or shotgun under a Class A or Class B license issued under section 131 or 131F shall possess the same in a vehicle unless such weapon is unloaded and contained within the locked trunk of such vehicle or in a locked case or other secure container. Whoever violates the provisions of this subsection shall be punished by a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000.
So I need to transport my SIG 556 or my Mini-14 in a locked case. But my Winchester 30-30 doesn't require this.
How the HELL does this make the slightest sense? Oh, and BTW I had to read this about 3 times before I caught the "large-capacity" portion. Easy to miss and the penalty is mighty stiff.
Sweet Gawd Almighty this State sux! -Counting the days until we can move.
