AI Summary

This bill proposes to remove the current prohibition on carrying unloaded rifles or shotguns on public ways in Massachusetts.

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.
