Can a non-resident travel through Massachusetts with a firearm?

Yes, without any restrictions
No, under no circumstances
Yes, if the firearm is unloaded and locked up
Yes, but only with a LTC

The correct answer is: Yes, if the firearm is unloaded and locked up

While A may seem like the obvious answer, it is incorrect as Massachusetts has very strict firearm laws, even for non-residents. Option B is also incorrect as there are some scenarios in which a non-resident could travel through Massachusetts with a firearm. Option D specifically mentions a License To Carry (LTC), which is a permit issued in Massachusetts for possession of a firearm. However, it is not the only option for non-residents traveling with a firearm. Option C is the most accurate answer, as non-residents can travel through Massachusetts with a firearm as long as it is unloaded and locked up. This is in accordance with the state's transportation laws for firearms, which require them to be kept safely locked in a case or container. This means that the firearm cannot be easily accessible to anyone inside the vehicle.
