Received a letter today from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts advising
all gun license holders on record that as of February 1, 2018
the purchase, sale or offering for sale of a bump stock or trigger crank
is unlawful.

Furthermore, effective after 90 days of February 1, 2018, the new law
makes possession of either, regardless of what type of license you have
unlawful, including possession in a private home. Even if you hold a
machine gun license, bump stocks and trigger cranks are illegal to own
after the 90 day period.

The letter goes on to state that if you have either of these devices you
are required by law to contact your local police department or the
Massachusetts State Police to arrange to transfer them for destruction
by the police.

Retention of either beyond the 90 day period will expose the owner to
criminal prosecution.


I heard that you need a permission slip to carry pepper spray and
tbat you have to go to Ruggles street station to get it. For
those unfamiliar with Ruggles street, you are better off not
knowing.



At one time a minimum of a FID card was required to purchase and/or
carry pepper spray (Mace) in MA. It was classified as ammunition.
However, the law was changed in 2014 and no license or permit is
required and is legal for those 18 years old and up.
