In Massachusetts, who is required to complete a firearms safety course before obtaining a firearms license?

  1. Every applicant

  2. Only applicants under 25

  3. Only first-time applicants

  4. Non-citizens only

The correct answer is: Every applicant

Massachusetts law requires all applicants for a firearms license to complete a firearms safety course, regardless of age, prior experience, or citizenship status. Option B is incorrect because it excludes applicants over the age of 25. Option C is incorrect because it only applies to first-time applicants, leaving out those who may need to renew or update their license. Option D is incorrect because it only applies to non-citizens, whereas all applicants, including citizens, are required to complete the safety course. Therefore, option A is the most comprehensive and accurate answer.
