ha ha...
no I have only taken it to the range a few times. More this weekend though.
you are correct. It is NOT a class III dealers license. I never in any way shape or form said you need a dealers license. Its a machine gun license to possess Machine Guns in the state of MA. Machine Guns are Class III NFA weapons. That is what I meant.
However, in MA I will say it once again..... this license is needed in this state before ANY NFA paperwork can be filed or it will be rejected because ATF can not allow anyone to be in any State or federal violation. To attempt to aquire a MG without a MG license in MA would place the transferee in violation because he does not have the proper license needed to possess Machine Guns.
the actual name of it is, "Resident License to Possess a Machine Gun" In MA it is also known as a Green Card because it has a green strip accross the front of it. It is an incredibly difficult license to aquire.
now if you check the state laws, there are also many states that DO NOT allow anyone to own Machine Guns, SBRs, SBS or AOWs.
