What, exactly, does Massachusetts allow a nonresident visiting the state to have unloaded and locked in the trunk *WITHOUT* a nonresident license, if you are not visiting the state for a shooting competition, and assuming that you are making MA your destination instead of just passing through (so FOPA does not apply)?
I assume that all handguns and "assault weapons" would be verboten without a license, but how about:
An unloaded pump-action hunting shotgun locked in a hard case in the trunk and ammunition stored separately?
An unloaded, locked .22 rifle?
Single-edge fixed-blade knife, 8" blade?
Bow and arrows?
Pepper spray?
Nerf gun?
Sharp stick?
I have perused the GOAL website and the MA statutes themselves, and am just as confused now as I was before.
