What penalty can be imposed for improperly storing firearms in Massachusetts?

Fine only
Jail time only
Both fine and jail time
A warning

The correct answer is: Both fine and jail time

In Massachusetts, there are four different penalties for improperly storing firearms. The two most common penalties are a fine or imprisonment. Those found guilty of improperly storing firearms may face both a fine and a jail sentence. Therefore, either A or B are incorrect as these answer choices only mention one possible penalty. Option D, a warning, is incorrect as a warning is not considered a penalty as it does not involve any form of punishment. It is important to properly store firearms in Massachusetts as failure to do so can result in some form of penalty.
