Bill > H3781

This bill amends Chapter 140 of the Massachusetts General Laws to add a new section, Section 122E, which places several restrictions on the delivery of firearms by licensed dealers. The key provisions of the bill are: 1) Dealers cannot deliver a firearm to a purchaser within 10 days of the application to purchase, unless the dealer has received notice from the Department of Justice, the Commonwealth, or the licensing authority that any corrections or fees have been submitted. 2) Firearms must be delivered unloaded and securely wrapped or in a locked container. 3) Purchasers must present clear evidence of their identity and age to the dealer. 4) Dealers cannot deliver a firearm to someone prohibited from possessing one under state or federal law. 5) Handguns cannot be delivered unless the purchaser presents a handgun safety certificate. 6) Handguns cannot be delivered if the purchaser has made another handgun purchase application within the preceding 30 days. 7) Dealers must prominently post a warning about the 10-day delivery restriction and provide the warning in writing to all firearm purchasers.
