Which of the following is NOT a component of the firearm safety training required for a gun license in Massachusetts?

  1. Live firing

  2. State laws regarding storage

  3. Techniques for avoiding a criminal attack

  4. A written exam based on local hunting regulations

The correct answer is: A written exam based on local hunting regulations

The selection of the written exam based on local hunting regulations as the component that is not required in the firearm safety training aligns with Massachusetts regulations. Firearm safety training in Massachusetts primarily focuses on essential aspects such as live firing exercises, understanding state laws regarding the storage and handling of firearms, and methods to avoid potentially dangerous situations. While hunting regulations are important for responsible gun ownership, the training specifically mandated for a gun license does not require a written exam on these regulations, making this option the correct choice in this context.
