In September I plan on going to New Jersey for a short vacation with some friends. In order to do so I will need to travel through Massachusettes and I would like to bring my handgun with me (too many episodes of the Sopranos?)
In any case, my limited understanding of mass. laws suggest that to even have a firearm in my vehicle disassembeled, with a cemented barrel, no ammunition and safely ensconced behind three feet of plate steel welded shut, I would still be in violation of Mass. law and subject to disciplinary action up to and including public flogging.
What I would like to know is if there is anyone who can explain to me the ins/outs of this issue so I can decide whether it would be better to swim to NJ instead...
