What safety course is mandatory for all first-time firearms license applicants in Massachusetts?

Hunter Safety Course
Basic Firearms Safety Course
Advanced Firearms Handling
None of the above

The correct answer is: Basic Firearms Safety Course

The Basic Firearms Safety Course is the mandatory training that first-time firearms license applicants must complete in Massachusetts. This course is designed to provide essential knowledge regarding the safe handling, use, and storage of firearms. It covers important topics such as the fundamental rules of firearm safety, the legal responsibilities associated with firearm ownership, and how to properly store firearms to prevent access by unauthorized individuals. While the Hunter Safety Course is beneficial for those interested in hunting, and Advanced Firearms Handling may be valuable for experienced shooters, neither of these is required for first-time license applicants. Understanding the foundational safety principles laid out in the Basic Firearms Safety Course is critical for ensuring responsible firearm ownership and contributes to the overall safety of the community.
