Bill Summary

For legislation relative to unloaded riles or shotguns. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 12D of Chapter 269 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which currently prohibits carrying an unloaded rifle or shotgun on a public way unless it is in a case, with penalties for violations. The bill seeks to remove the existing language that outlines this prohibition and its associated penalties, effectively changing the regulations regarding the carrying of unloaded rifles or shotguns in public. The original law also included specific provisions for large capacity weapons and exceptions for certain ceremonial events, which would also be removed by this amendment.
