Arrested and charged for having a single 9mm round coincident to a traffic stop. This is crazy but there is another lesson here as well... don't borrow a car that is not registered, has no insurance and then use it to tailgate an ambulance at night in front of the popo.Hoodasnacks wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 2:34 pm I didn't see an MA thread.

Could you imagine a license requirement to have ammo?

I had a pen made out of 7.62 cases (https://www.juniorsbulletpens.com/shop) and one of my cousins saw it...
After admiring it, he told me to make sure a police officer didn’t see it, otherwise I’d be arrested...
what the heck, I asked, and he told me I did not have a license to possess any weapon chambered in 7.62 and thus could not legally own any component of that weapon...
True story...sad, but true...
