Looking for some advice for a friend who is in a bit of a strange situation with a rifle she is in possession of. She has always been a MA resident and LTC holder, however, her husband was a NH resident for a while (long story, but that was the situation). Husband purchased and owned a rifle while he was a NH resident. He has since become a MA resident, but never got his FID or LTC. They both now live under one address, together in MA.
The wife took possession of the rifle under her LTC when the husband moved back to MA, but never ended up registering it with an FA-10 or anything. She is now worried that she is in possession of an unregistered firearm and is unsure of what to do? We would greatly appreciate any advice you all may have to offer for her.
I have seen posts indicating that FFL's will transfer unregistered firearms from unlicensed individuals to FID/LTC holders. Is that really true? Wouldn't they be freaked out dealing with someone in that situation? Or possibly even rat on them?
FYI, the rifle is fully MA compliant.
