MGL does NOT require any registration of ANY guns brought into MA WHEN YOU MOVE IN WITH THEM! Only if you "go back and get them later" do you legally have to register them. PERIOD, ALL STOP!
Any guns obtained in any way after becoming a resident of MA requires registration within 7 days of the gun crossing the state line for the first time.
I teach Mass Gun Law in a 6+ hr seminar, it is my area of expertise (which I've been tracking/involved with since the mid-1970s). I am also an NRA Instructor as well as Mass State Police certified BFS (for obtaining your LTC) and LEOSA Instructor.
