I saw there were a few other posts on this topic, but none of those posters seemed particularly adverse to letting good ol' Massachusetts and their draconian, unconstitutional knowledge follow them to their new address. Here's my deal: Massachusetts has a firearms registry.
So, I just have a feeling that when I give them my new address in a free state, they'll type that into their registry and bada-bing, bada-boom, the government knows where me and my guns are at. I would very much prefer for me and my guns to exist together in a location unbeknownst to the government now that I've escaped the insanity of Massachusetts.
I'll be talking to a lawyer tomorrow on this topic because I'm really tiffed by the limitless unconstitutional extension of Massachusetts' molesting legal embrace. Like, it's bad enough if you've made a conscious decision to live in the state, but then you leave and they're like, "Nah, we've got an unconstitutional law for that too, buddy. Where ya goin'?!"
The form itself says that the consequences are merely license suspension or revocation, which is fine as long as I never intend to return. I called the firearms dept. today and the woman told me it was an arrestable offense LOL. I'm not convinced she knew what she was talking about. I called my local sheriff's dept. and the woman who runs firearms licensure got frustrated by my concern for the registry following me and just said, "do whatever you want", which I don't necessarily take with confidence, as much as I'd like to do "whatever I want."
So anyway, I think I'll give the legalese a read over myself, and as I said, talk to a lawyer. I'm just interested to know if anybody else has experience on this front.
Thank you,
