Chapter 140 - 131N is why I'd be worried. (In full below)
Specifically, "No person shall... possess any weapon, capable of discharging a bullet.. that does not resemble a handgun"
Heck, in reading 131N, if it doesn't look like a SBR, SBS or handgun, it would be illegal. I would ASSuME that someone else standard rifles, shotguns and Machineguns are exempt from 131N.

SALE OF FIREARMS
Chapter 140: Section 131N. Covert weapons; sale, transfer or possession; punishment
Section 131N. No person shall sell, offer for sale, transfer or possess any weapon, capable of discharging a bullet or shot, that is: (i) constructed in a shape that does not resemble a handgun, short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun including, but not limited to, covert weapons that resemble key-chains, pens, cigarette-lighters or cigarette-packages; or (ii) not detectable as a weapon or potential weapon by x-ray machines commonly used at airports or walk-through metal detectors. Whoever violates the provisions of this section shall be punished, for a first offense, by a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than ten years, or by both such fine and imprisonment, and for a second offense, by a fine of not less than $5,000 nor more than $15,000 or by imprisonment for not less than five years nor more than 15 years, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
All this does is make it look like you've got a wallet or somesuch in your pocket....for the record, I don't like the open trigger, either.
