In my state of Massachusetts to own a gun, even a bolt action rifle, you need to get a FOID (firearms owners identification). To get this you needs to take a simple class and than apply with the chief of police in your resident town. Or you could take a CCL class and apply for both your CCL and FOID in one go, which is more worthwhile obviously. What really sucks is they can impose restriction on your permit such as no high capacity magazines.
What are other states like? Can an adult who has never owned or even handled a gun just walk into a sporting goods store and buy all they want after a back round check? But then they can't carry a handgun until they get a CCL right? And Arizona, Alaska, and Vermont you don't even need a CCL to carry a handgun?
