Massachusetts Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is NOT a legal requirement for owning a firearm in Massachusetts?

Completing a state-approved firearm safety course

Registering all firearms with the local police department

Being at least 18 years old for rifles and shotguns, and 21 for handguns

Possessing a valid hunting license

Possessing a valid hunting license is not a legal requirement for owning a firearm in Massachusetts. The state does require individuals to complete a state-approved firearm safety course and has age restrictions for firearm ownership—18 years old for rifles and shotguns, and 21 for handguns. Additionally, while firearms must be registered in some states, Massachusetts does not require all firearms to be registered with local police departments; rather, it has a licensing system that involves obtaining a Firearms Identification Card (FID) or a License to Carry (LTC). Therefore, while a hunting license may be necessary for specific hunting activities, it is not a prerequisite for the ownership of firearms in general.
