More New Resident Questions

[Brigante]

Thank you all for the wealth of information posted here. When I first checked the MA law, I thought it would be easy to obtain a LTC, but now I see that is not so. I'll be looking at a few neighborhoods next week. A few that have my interest are Monson, Agawam, Palmer, Westhampton and Ware. Please chime in if you have any comments about any of these towns. I was told to stay away from Springfield and Holyoke(I'll be working in Springfield). And no, I couldn't bear a commute from VT or NH!

I'm also hoping to make a few new "friends"....my question is, would I have to wait until I received my license before selling any firearms? My bankroll is gonna be tight with the move and all, so I'd probably like to make my 4 friends ASAP.

Sorry to hear you are planning a move to PRM. This thread should help guide you to a "green" town. All of the towns you listed appear to be good to go.

( waits for everyone to suggest you bring in some NON-MASS weapons to sell them )

You are exempted for 60 days after you move into state from needing an FID/LTC for possession of your guns under C 140 S 129C, but that exemption does not allow you to sell your guns privately under S 128A. Sorry. You can sell them to a dealer, or wait until you get your license.

 

[Brigante]

Yeah, I had a feeling that was the case...thanks.

I've been studying that map so much these days that I have parts of it memorized!! I guess I'll just have to take a drive through these neighborhoods and get an idea of what I like.

I would suggest you move to CT...enfield...suffield..somers..granby....all right on the border and 10-20 min from springfield...and you will have no prob getting a permit to carry in any of those towns and we have less firearm restrictions....just remember to buy your gas in mass!!

I just checked UHaul and it'll cost roughly $1500 with a car carrier...that would be quite a lot of guns..or one helluva markup!

Don't forget you can only sell four guns a year privately (i.e. to non-dealers) in MA. So it'll have to be the big markup route, or it'll take a while for you to recoup your investment

I've been checking CT real estate, and it seems your dollar goes further in MA unfortunately. Property taxes in CT are higher too. I guess freedom has a price!

 

[buketduder]

yes..i would agree rent/homes are cheaper in mass..and maybe property taxes( it all depends on the town)....i stay in CT so i can have open containers of alcohol in my car while driving..haha
