AI Summary
This bill proposes to remove the current prohibition on carrying unloaded rifles or shotguns on public ways in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would delete the language that prohibits carrying unloaded rifles or shotguns on public ways unless they are enclosed in a case, and the associated penalties for violating this provision. The bill also removes the exemption for certain activities, such as drills, parades, and memorial service firing squads, where carrying unloaded rifles or shotguns on public ways is currently permitted.
