Hello,
New member. I've read the FAQ and done a search...and didn't see this random question from that effort.
Does Massachusetts law (or the possible interpretation of that) require the locking up of unloaded handgun magazines in one's home?
When I have bought magazines from Mass gun shops I've been required to prove I'm licensed...hence as a restricted item, it begs this question.
I have a good little range bag and multiple magazines. But from a limited secured space perspective, I'd like to just stow my range mags in a 12 mag sleeve in that bag (in my home...NOT vehicle) until ready to head to a range, load those mags, and then practice. The only compartment of that range bag that will fit the sleeve can not be locked.
Obviously, ammo and handguns are kept locked and physically secured and not in the equation, or in the bag, in this scenario.
Can't find much on this because I'm guessing most people simply don't do this (e.g., they keep their's loaded, secured, and ready to go or put all their gear ready to go in a gun safe).
So is it OK...or is it treading some line that is simply not a good idea and therefore should not be considered?
Thanks in advance.
