Massachusetts Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

In Massachusetts, which of the following disqualifies an individual from obtaining a firearm license?

Prior misdemeanor convictions with a maximum imprisonment of less than 2 years

Conviction for operating under the influence (OUI) more than 5 years ago

Any felony conviction

In Massachusetts, any felony conviction disqualifies an individual from obtaining a firearm license. This is because a felony is considered a more serious crime than a misdemeanor, and therefore the state deems individuals who have committed felonies as unfit to own a firearm. Options A and B may seem like they could potentially disqualify someone from obtaining a firearm license, but they have certain limitations such as a maximum imprisonment of less than 2 years for option A and a time limit of 5 years ago for option B. As for option D, while it is important for individuals to complete a firearm safety course, the date of completion does not necessarily reflect one's current understanding and knowledge of firearms, so it is not a determining factor in disqualifying someone from obtaining a firearm license. Therefore, option C is the most accurate and appropriate answer.
