Introduced·2/27/25
Introduced Text

Massachusetts H2594 allows licensed firearm collectors to possess firearms and magazines classified as "curios and relics" under federal law.

Massachusetts H2594 amends Chapter 140 to clarify that licensed firearm collectors with a valid license to carry firearms (LTC) can possess firearms and magazines classified as "curios and relics" under federal law. This includes firearms obtained through various means, such as interstate commerce, private sales, estate sales, or retail sales within the state. The bill also allows for the possession of magazines that exceed the general capacity limit of 10 rounds, provided they were originally designed for use with the specific curio and relic firearm in question.
