What does the Firearms Identification Card (FID) allow you to possess in Massachusetts?

Non-large capacity firearms only
Large capacity firearms
Both A and B
Pepper spray only

The correct answer is: Non-large capacity firearms only

The Firearms Identification Card (FID) in Massachusetts specifically permits the holder to possess non-large capacity firearms, such as common handguns and rifles with a magazine capacity of 10 rounds or fewer. This card is primarily associated with less powerful firearms that do not exceed the size limitation set by Massachusetts law. In contrast, large capacity firearms, which have a larger magazine capacity, require a different type of license called a License to Carry (LTC). As for items such as pepper spray, while they are non-firearm weapons, they are not regulated under the FID framework. Therefore, the FID does not specifically pertain to pepper spray, but rather to the possession of firearms that fit within the non-large capacity designation.
