Under what circumstance can a non-resident carry a handgun in Massachusetts?

  1. With a valid out-of-state license

  2. While attending a competition or exhibition

  3. While transporting the firearm through Massachusetts, provided it's locked and unloaded

  4. B & C

The correct answer is: B & C

In Massachusetts, a non-resident can carry a handgun under two specific circumstances. The first circumstance is while attending a competition or exhibition, and the second circumstance is while transporting the firearm through Massachusetts, as long as it is securely locked and unloaded. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, as it combines both valid conditions under which a non-resident can carry a handgun in Massachusetts.
