What must non-residents do to legally carry a firearm in Massachusetts?

  1. Nothing, if they have a permit from their home state

  2. Apply for a non-resident permit

  3. Only carry in designated areas

  4. Non-residents cannot legally carry firearms in Massachusetts

The correct answer is: Apply for a non-resident permit

Non-residents cannot legally carry firearms in Massachusetts without obtaining a non-resident permit. Option A is incorrect because even with a permit from their home state, they still need a non-resident permit from Massachusetts. Option C is incorrect because carrying a firearm in designated areas is not the only requirement for non-residents to legally carry a firearm in Massachusetts. Option D is incorrect because, as stated before, non-residents can carry with the proper permit.
