Bill Summary

Relative to the transportation of firearms by non-residents. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill aims to protect the rights of non-residents to transport firearms in Massachusetts, provided they are not prohibited from doing so under federal law. It allows non-residents to transport unloaded firearms between any places where they are legally allowed to possess and carry them, as long as the firearms are not readily accessible from the passenger compartment. The bill also protects non-residents from detention or confiscation of their firearms if they are in compliance with this provision, and extends the protections to situations where non-residents are unexpectedly delayed during their travel.
