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

Surrender them to the local police department
Register them within 60 days
Nothing, if they have a valid license from another state
Sell or transfer them before moving

The correct answer is: Register them within 60 days

Individuals must register their firearms within 60 days when moving to Massachusetts from another state. This is required by law in order to ensure that firearms brought into the state are legally owned and not prohibited under Massachusetts law. Surrendering firearms to the police department may be necessary if the firearms are not able to be registered, but this is not the first step. Simply having a valid license from another state is not enough, as registration is still required in Massachusetts. Selling or transferring firearms before moving is an option, but it is not necessary if the individual plans to register them in Massachusetts.
