Selling a curio relic rifle from out of state to MA resident

[maduro]

Hi all,
Need some help. Been trying all night to find Massachusetts' law regarding curio and relic rifle purchases. I'm out of state. Have a buyer from Massachusetts interested in my rifle, he has a c&r license, but I'm not sure I can ship/sell him the rifle. I noticed empire arms doesn't sell to MA residents, and they have the laws for my state correct. Also noticed other & r dealers that don't sell to MA. Can anyone point me to the state laws regarding such a transaction? Thanks for the help.

You won't find anything in MA laws "allowing" C&R sales. MGLs are relatively silent on C&Rs and that is a GOOD THING!

You can ship to a MA C&R FFL. You must get a copy of his FFL (you already knew this) AND his LTC and that is it.

I suggest you read Dennis' website a bit more carefully, it does NOT say that he won't sell to MA. As a matter of fact I bought a very nice Russian Capture K98 SS bnz from him with no problem whatsoever (I sent him my C&R, LTC and cc number and it was a go).

You can also do a FTF sale at your place.

Thanks for the info guys. What's an LTC?

Thanks for the info guys. What's an LTC?

In MA (unlike almost any other state in the US), you need a LTC to even think about guns. LTC is a town-issued permit (discretionary) that allows you to possess/buy guns, ammo, mags, components. Possession without one is a Felony with more jail time than murder in this state.

I'm trying to keep it relatively simple above. More detailed info below:

- For guns, we have 3 classes of permits: LTC-A, LTC-B and FID (in declining value order).
- LTC-A allows you to possess/buy anything that isn't banned by law (other than smgs, different permit for that).
- LTC-B allows you to possess/buy any low-cap handguns/handgun mags and any legal rifles/shotguns (even hi-cap).
- FID ONLY allows you to possess/buy low-cap rifles/shotguns.

License To Carry

Class A allows you to carry a handgun loaded on your person.

Class B, unloaded, packaged.


And the final insult is they all require the same firearms saftey class and all cost the same - $100 for 6 years.

Class A allows you to carry a handgun loaded on your person.

ONLY if they issued for "All Lawful Purposes"; some towns mark them Sporting & Target.

You can always tell them you're a real sport and just haven't found the right target yet.

Empire will not sell ammo or HiCap mags in Mass. Dennis does sell firearms to Mass residents.
