Are non-residents allowed to carry firearms in Massachusetts with a permit issued from another state?

Yes, without restrictions
No, they must obtain a Massachusetts non-resident permit
Yes, but only for hunting and target shooting
Only if the permit is from a state that Massachusetts has reciprocity with

The correct answer is: No, they must obtain a Massachusetts non-resident permit

In Massachusetts, non-residents are not allowed to carry firearms with a permit issued from another state. This is because Massachusetts does not recognize non-resident permits from other states and requires individuals who are not residents of Massachusetts to obtain a non-resident permit specifically from Massachusetts in order to legally carry firearms in the state. Options A and C are incorrect because non-residents are not allowed to carry firearms in Massachusetts, regardless of the purpose. Option D is incorrect because Massachusetts does not have reciprocity with any other state for non-resident firearm permits.
