A federal lawsuit has been filed against Massachusetts officials concerning the state's licensing scheme for non-residents seeking to carry firearms. The lawsuit argues that the current system, which imposes significantly shorter permit durations and lengthy, in-person renewal processes for non-residents compared to residents, violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. Plaintiffs seek to compel Massachusetts to comply with its own laws regarding processing times and allow remote renewals, potentially setting a national precedent for non-resident carry rights.
