Bill > H2640

This bill amends Section 123 of Chapter 140 of the Massachusetts General Laws to explicitly allow firearms furnished through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) to be transferred by licensed firearms dealers, regardless of any existing laws or regulations that might otherwise restrict such transfers. The Civilian Marksmanship Program is a federally chartered organization originally created by the U.S. Congress to promote firearms safety training and rifle practice, which historically has involved the sale of surplus military firearms to qualified civilians. By adding this new paragraph to the existing law, the bill removes potential legal barriers that might have previously prevented licensed firearms dealers from transferring CMP-sourced firearms, thus making it easier for qualified individuals to acquire these specific types of firearms through licensed dealers in Massachusetts.
