Who is required to complete a Massachusetts approved firearms safety course before obtaining a firearm license?

Only first-time applicants
All applicants
Only those under 21
Non-residents only

The correct answer is: All applicants

Anyone seeking a firearm license in Massachusetts is required to complete a firearms safety course approved by the state. This means that both first-time applicants and those seeking to renew their license must complete the course before being granted a license. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they exclude certain individuals who are still required to complete the course. "First-time applicants" (A) may seem like a logical answer, but even those who have previously held a firearm license in another state or have completed a safety course in a different state must still complete a course approved by Massachusetts. Similarly, "only those under 21" (C) is incorrect because all applicants, regardless of age, must complete the course. Finally, "non-residents only" (D) is incorrect because even Massachusetts residents must complete the course. This makes option B, "all applicants", the correct answer.
