How often must a firearm license be renewed in Massachusetts?

Every year
Every 2 years
Every 5 years
Every 6 years

The correct answer is: Every 6 years

In Massachusetts, a firearm license must be renewed every 6 years. This requirement ensures that the state maintains current information on firearm owners and reinforces the need for ongoing education and compliance with firearm safety laws. Regular renewal helps support responsible gun ownership and promotes public safety by allowing periodic checks of an individual's eligibility to own a firearm. The need for a 6-year renewal cycle balances the interests of citizens wishing to exercise their rights with the state's responsibility to regulate firearm ownership appropriately.
