Hi everyone, tomorrow my girlfriend and I will be driving to Mass to visit her family in Acton. We live in Ohio which is an open carry state, although I have my permit to carry concealed, which I know Massachusetts does not honor.
However I would like to know if it is worth me bringing my handgun? My understanding of the vehicle laws seems pretty similar to Ohio's.....cannot carry a loader weapon in a vehicle without a permit.....but what about just every day walking around? Is it worth while to open carry? Are there any laws on ammo capacity for open carry, can I have a round chambered? Do police there tend to harass those who carry openly?
Pretty much what would I need to know in order to keep my gun on me while I am there? I've looked it up but I am not finding too much and I am on my phone so it is easier to get clarification from the fine members here.
Thanks a lot I appreciate all of the help.
