What type of firearms does a Class B License to Carry (LTC) in Massachusetts permit an individual to possess?

  1. Large capacity firearms

  2. Non-large capacity rifles and shotguns only

  3. Non-large capacity handguns only

  4. Both B and C

The correct answer is: Non-large capacity handguns only

A Class B License to Carry (LTC) in Massachusetts allows an individual to possess non-large capacity rifles and shotguns, as well as non-large capacity handguns. This license is specifically designed for firearms that do not exceed a certain capacity, distinguishing it from a Class A license, which grants broader permissions, including the ability to carry large capacity firearms. While the initial assessment focuses on handguns only, it's important to recognize that the Class B license encompasses more than just that category. Therefore, understanding that it also includes non-large capacity rifles and shotguns clarifies the full scope of what this license permits. Options that suggest either only large capacity firearms or exclusively non-large capacity handguns limit the understanding of the Class B license's full capabilities and aren't accurate representations of the licensing structure in Massachusetts.
