What must individuals do with their firearms when moving to Massachusetts from another state?

Register all firearms within 60 days
Surrender all firearms to the local police department
No action required
Apply for an FID card within 30 days

The correct answer is: Register all firearms within 60 days

Individuals moving to Massachusetts from another state must register all of their firearms within 60 days. This is a requirement under Massachusetts law to ensure that the state has accurate records of firearm ownership for public safety purposes. By registering firearms, the state can monitor compliance with laws regarding gun ownership and ensure that owners meet necessary legal standards. While it may seem like other actions could apply, such as surrendering firearms or applying for a firearms identification card (FID) within a certain timeframe, those are misinterpretations of the requirements. Registration is the primary step that new residents must take to comply with Massachusetts firearm laws upon moving to the state.
