Which license is required to purchase a large capacity firearm in Massachusetts?

  1. Firearms Identification (FID) Card

  2. Class A Large Capacity License to Carry

  3. Class B Non-Large Capacity License to Carry

  4. None, as long as the buyer is over 21

The correct answer is: Class A Large Capacity License to Carry

In Massachusetts, the appropriate license required to purchase a large capacity firearm is the Class A Large Capacity License to Carry. This license specifically allows individuals to possess and carry firearms that are classified as large capacity, which generally includes handguns, rifles, and shotguns that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition in a magazine or cylinder. While an FID card allows for the purchase of non-large capacity firearms, it does not extend the right to buy large capacity firearms. The Class B Non-Large Capacity License to Carry only permits the purchase of firearms that do not have the capacity to hold more than ten rounds. Therefore, the Class A license is essential for those looking to legally acquire large capacity firearms in Massachusetts.
