As has been mentioned here the wise CC'er Knows EXACTLY what the situation is. The only place to get real facts is from the State Officials for that state. Hearsay and opinion could lead you to a sorry conclusion and a lot of trouble.

I bolded the most important part above! Things change, people mis-interpret the laws, etc. Only reliable place to look is on your state's website for the actual law itself.

Perhaps a holdover from 1998 and earlier, when one could not leave a handgun in a vehicle, altogether.
Of course, when you carry discreetly, and never need your gun because you're careful where you go, the issue doesn't come up.

True, MA (by statute) only bans carry on school (including college) properties. Various gov't bodies have created CMRs banning other areas (possession anywhere on any casino property, within 500' of Logan airport on the water, etc.) and policies (courthouses, some gov't buildings, etc.) that aren't actual laws.
Long before 1968, licenses were only issued to the connected folks thus there were few restrictions in the law for the "privileged".
