I visit my parents (in New Hampshire) a few times per year, and I always fly into Boston, MA. Flying into another airport will probably cost me several hundred dollars more. Mass is the communist capitol of the US, as far as I'm concerned. I will be getting my concealed carry license in NH, but I will have to transport the gun from the airport up to the NH boarder. Can I do this legally?
The Peaceable Journey law for Mass:
Notice how the first sentence leaves out "for personal defense". Well, I'm not going to use my .40 handgun for hunting. And, if I want to claim that I am using it in a competition, it states that I must have a "sporting license issued by the commonwealth or by the state of his destination". What is this crap?!?! (Upon re-read, maybe that is only for the case of hunting??)
Does anyone know if there is another law that permits what I want? Or anyone know where I can find this? I got the above quote from Packing.org.
"...shall not be infringed", Massh*le politicians! :banghead:
