What is required to transfer a firearm in Massachusetts?

  1. A safety inspection

  2. A background check

  3. Notification of the local police department

  4. Registration of the firearm

The correct answer is: A background check

In Massachusetts, a background check is required for all firearm transfers. A safety inspection is not a requirement, although it is recommended for safe handling and use of the firearm. While notification of the police department may be required by some local laws, it is not a statewide requirement. Registration of firearms is not currently required in Massachusetts.
