Has anyone heard if the Ruger LC9S is ever going to be MA approved? Ruger won't tell me anything and the dealers say that Ruger won't tell thm anything either. Surely someone has to know. What's the big secret for goodness sake???

Forget the going price... do any shops in MA even have them in stock yet at any price?What seems to be the going price in Massachusetts?

Son of a gun! Thanks!
As soon as a gun is on the EOPS list, it can be sold in MA until the AG says it can't be. For practical purposes, the AG list is a list of guns that can't be transferred by FFL, not a list of ones that can be, since the AG won't release a list of approved guns.Before you can puchase one in MA, it still has to pass the MA Attoney General's test/approval. This is what sucks in the state of MA. Why have MA Approved Firearms Roster that a gun makes it on and then can't purchase it until it makes the AG's list??? And no where can one find the AG's list.
They can say what they like. The fact of the matter is that the AG refuses to approve guns. Gun manufacturers self certify compliance with AG regs, and sellers take a risk by selling them. The AG only announces the compliance status of handguns by sending cease and desist letters.Hey joshk1025...call Four Seasons in Woburn or R&R Sport Shop in Belchertown and see what they tell you. I have called both and it's a fact. The LC9S cannot yet be sold in MA by a dealer until it makes the AG approval.
This is what was sent to me by a MA dealer:
section140 create the "big" list; the Approved Firearms Roster. Notethat in Mass, "firearms" = handguns
section 940 contains consumer product safety rules and the AG decided to applysuch rules after the section 140 rules went into effect, creating a dualstandard. The big list continues to exist and gets updated periodicallyas that section of the law continues to be in effect.
The AG regs under 940 thus creates a dual standard; guns complying under 140subsequently must comply with and be approved under section 940.
you can possess various guns under 140, but we as a retailer can onlysell you guns compliant under both sections.
The AG list is seemingly impossible to find; I have never seen it. Wesell guns that our wholesalers or manufacturers state have been approved under940. E.g. see Ruger's website as they have a page dedicated to Masscompliant firearms.
I have checked Ruger's website and the LC9S reads....MA Approved and Certified: No Yet it is on the MA Approved Firearms Roster. So the Roster is useless...that's my point. Where does the hangup lie?
