What does a Class A License permit in Massachusetts?

  1. The possession of high capacity firearms

  2. Carrying a concealed weapon

  3. Both A and B

  4. Neither A nor B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

A Class A License in Massachusetts permits both the possession of high-capacity firearms and the carrying of a concealed weapon. This type of license is the highest level of firearm license available in the state, reflecting a broader range of privileges compared to other classes. Holders of a Class A License are authorized to own large-capacity rifles and shotguns, as well as handguns, provided they comply with state regulations. Furthermore, this license allows individuals to carry a firearm concealed, meaning they can carry a handgun in a concealed manner on their person. This dual capability makes the Class A License particularly significant for those who wish to have more flexibility in how they carry and utilize firearms within the frameworks established by Massachusetts law.
