New to the group. And I have been digging thru the forum trying to find the answer. But am still confused, if it is legal for me to move this firearm or not.
Here are the facts:
* Back in Illinois, I own a Taurus PT-92AF that I bought in 1989 in Illinois with one high capacity pre-ban clip (as MA calls it)) I have the paperwork proof of purchase.
* Moved to MA in 2009 due to a job transition, but left all my firearms back in IL with family to hold, since I was not familiar with the laws here.
* Received my MA LTC Class "A" license in April 2012, after a 80-day wait.
* Would like to now bring this firearm into MA by driving it from IL to MA.
I have a call into one of the MA Lawyers that specialize in MA firearms law. Just waiting to hear back. I thought I'd post this here for other tips.
On another note: Why is the FA-10 required in the above scenario, if the firearm is moved after moving here... but not required if the gun comes into the state during the move? Did I misread this?
Thanks.
