Bill > S1687

This bill proposes an amendment to Section 122B of Chapter 140 of the Massachusetts General Laws to clarify regulations around ammunition sales, specifically for companies located outside of Massachusetts. The amendment allows out-of-state companies to sell and deliver "inert ammunition components" (which include cases, bullets, shot, and wads) to licensed individuals through internet, U.S. Mail, or other interstate commerce methods, without requiring those out-of-state companies to be licensed in Massachusetts. The bill mandates that all ammunition deliveries, whether made in person or by common carrier, must be completed with the recipient's signature and photographic identification verification. This provision ensures that while out-of-state companies can sell these specific ammunition components, there are still strict safeguards in place to control the transfer of potentially dangerous materials to only those individuals who are legally authorized to possess them under existing Massachusetts licensing sections 129B and 131.
