CO2 Launchers and Massachusetts Law
Massachusetts requires a License to Carry (LTC) for conventional handguns, making firearm ownership one of the most administratively complex in the nation. However, CO2-powered self defense launchers are not classified as firearms under Massachusetts General Laws or federal law. Residents in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Lowell, Cambridge, and throughout the Commonwealth can purchase one with no LTC, no background check, and no permit.
For Massachusetts residents who want effective personal protection without the time and cost of obtaining an LTC, the CO2 launcher is a practical legal alternative. It ships directly to Massachusetts addresses and provides real stopping power without any administrative hurdles.
