What is the maximum jail term for carrying a firearm without a license in Massachusetts?

6 months
1 year
2 years
5 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

Carrying a firearm without a license is considered a serious offense in Massachusetts and can result in significant jail time. Options A and B, 6 months and 1 year respectively, are less severe jail terms compared to option D, 5 years. Option C, 2 years, is also incorrect as it is a shorter term than the correct answer. It is important to note that the actual jail term may vary depending on the specific circumstances and prior criminal history of the offender.
