They can’t be on display unless in a locked case or have a trigger lock on them.

Back to the Mass. law thing. Ordered filler wads from BPI yesterday for the 10 ga. and was put on hold while he checked with his boss to see if it was ok to ship to Mass. because of the threats from our AG having to do with regulations her office has created out of thin air to intimidate out of state sellers.

Mike Yacino Sr., father of the Mike Yacino who posts here and has his own gun shop, was for several years executive director of GOAL (Gun Owners Action League) here in Mass.
when the law was passed in Mass about locking guns up and trigger locks Mike went directly to the State House and demanded to the governor that the muskets displayed high on the wall in the governor’s office be immediately equipped with trigger locks. The governor realized at that point how ridiculous the law was... but it was too late - it was the law and the muskets were not exempt.

Mike was a fireball and a great friend of firearms owners.

It's funny (head scratch funny, not ha-ha funny) that the news of the Mass. trigger locks on the muskets in the State House made the news in Missouri. I guess ya gotta be famous for something.

I have removed my post as it was indeed too political (and a preposterous digression from the Thread topic as well).

Please proceed with illustrating and describing how we display our classic gun ephemera.

I'm just curious...are video games that include shooting and killing likenesses of humans banned in MA? Let me guess...no? How about violent movies -- are they also banned?

There are times it's frustrating living in the Show-Me State, but after learning about your state, I'm feeling better.

So, are the governor's muskets trigger locked?? By the way, thanks to Dave for posting pictures of five percent of his paper collection, or is it five tenths of a percent of his paper collection?

To the best of my knowledge, yes.
