You have 60 days after leaving active military service (provided you were on active duty for more than 180 days) to apply for and obtain a firearms ID card. I recommend you take the required safety course and get a license immediately. This is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and controlling the public here is a fanatic obsession... one of the few places in the world that would victimize you for defending yourself from a violent home invader.

yes.
