[QUOTE I understood his message, and obtained the LTC, and with permission for extended capacity magazines too. I set out to refresh my inventory with selections from the M&P line of pistols. Sadly, I had intended to do so before I left the Midwest, and if I had, my selections would have been grandfathered in under MA laws, as long as I have the paper trail to prove it.

This is not true. The only large capacity magazines legal in MA have to have been manufactured pre-ban 1994. Seeing there were no M&P's pre 1994 they are not legal in MA.

Saying this when I purchased my FS M&P 40 from a local store and it was a MA compliant model when I got it home looking closer it had two 15 round mags in the box that I now keep at my camp out of state.
