STATE-BY-STATE WARNINGS
12 13
MASSACHUSETTS:
“WARNING FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY
GENERAL: This handgun is not equipped with
a device that fully blocks use by unauthorized
users. More than 200,000 fi rearms like this one
are stolen from their owners every year in the
United States. In addition, there are more than a
thousand suicides each year by younger children
and teenagers who get access to fi rearms.
Hundreds more die from accidental discharge. It
is likely that many more children sustain serious
wounds, or infl ict such wounds accidentally
on others. In order to limit the chance of such
misuse, it is imperative that you keep this weapon
locked in a secure place and take other steps
necessary to limit the possibility of theft or
accident. Failure to take reasonable preventive
steps may result in innocent lives being lost, and
in some circumstances may result in your liability
for these deaths.”
