I am new to this site and I'm jumping in feet 1st to a hot topic .
Yes I live in Mass, Western Mass. Open Carry is legal in MA.
Now here is were it gets strange, the way the law is writen (and yes before you flame me, I'm trying to find it, MA doe's not make it easy to readtheir laws), but as it states you can open carry anywere put in a public place.
OK you ask "where isn't public" mostly your own land you can carry open, your friends land (I would say here though get writen permission and you my need to be with said friend), your gun club (as long as it is OKwith the cluband the club is not open to the public).
So the short of it unless you are standing outside your house on your land there is not many places in MA that you can Open Carry.
As I said i'm trying to find it, the laws are worded so it is not very easy toread them, let alone understand them unless you are a Lawyer that doe's gun laws. I try not to answer legal questions as I am not up on the laws as some folks are but if I can help I will try to.
On another note (not putting this site down) but we have a very nice forum called Northeastshooters.com http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/forum.php , check it out if you would like to, alot of nice folks there.
See Ya
