(picture from link, Shotgun Shell String Lights)
It's a cute little gift for the outdoorsman in the family, or for someone who wants to have a unique set of Christmas lights. Then I read the description:
These are actual shotgun shells that have been lovingly re-crimped here in Winston Salem, NC. They are strung onto cords and packaged for gift giving. The person who has everything probably does NOT have these! Our string of Shotgun Shell Christmas Lights comes in two lengths: 12' string features 35 individual lighted shotgun shells, and our 8' string features 20 lights!
Because these are made from "actual shotgun shells", they would be considered ammunition under MA state law. Because they are considered ammunition under MA state law, they require a MA FID card to possess. Possession of ammunition without a valid permit in Massachusetts is a felony under MA state law. Owning these lights without an FID card ($100 for 5 years) would make one a felon...
MA: Where it's a felony to own Christmas lights without the proper permit.
That is all.

That is complete BS!
and, I'm buying some of these for my dad.
Did you just utter the words "shotgun shell"? A child could have died!!1! Felon!
Like we need another reason to make fun of MA?
I actually have several sets of these lights. And no permit was required.
I wonder how many tourists become MA felons for the heinous crime of keeping keys on an inert cartridge key chain.
It's hard to believe that the Shot Heard Round The World was fired in MA.
Will the purveyor of these lights even SHIP to MA?
LinkP,
Or, as I like to put it:
Massachusetts: The birthplace, and graveyard, of Liberty
I have an inert .45 cal cartridge on my keychain, and have passed through Mass many times with said keychain in the ignition of my car, and also in the ignition of my bike whilst flying club colors.
