I live in Massachusetts and have an FID card. I know that the law states that I can not be in posession of a rifle that excedes 10 rounds.
My question is, is it illegal to carry a rifle that CAN accept a magazine that holds over 10 rounds, even though the rifle that I'm carrying only contains a magazine that holds 8 or 10 rounds?
I have not been able to find a solid answer, but from my research it is illegal due to the fact that I could go out and buy a larger mag, even if I do not own one, right?
That being said, I have found that the best rifle for the money that holds no more than 10 rounds is the Hi-Point 995TS. Correct me if I'm wrong but this rifle would definitely fall under the category of a non-large capacity rifle, and is legal for me to purchase/carry in MA with an FID card, correct?
On a side note, anybody know of any good options for a cheap, reliable rifle that is classified as a non-large capacity rifle (preferably 9mm, looking for the cheapest ammo to shoot to use at a range), instead of the 995TS? Or do any of you know a place in MA, that carries this rifle where I can get it relatively cheap?
Thanks in advance.
