100% illegal in mass.

And the law wont be tried until a cop is fighting for his gun and cuts up some coked out liberal yuppie that was on his way to changing his life around.

Chapter 41: Section 98. Powers and duties

Section 98. The chief and other police officers of all cities and towns shall have all the powers and duties of constables except serving and executing civil process. They shall suppress and prevent all disturbances and disorder. They may carry within the commonwealth such weapons as the chief of police or the board or officer having control of the police in a city or town shall determine; provided, that any law enforcement officer of another state or territory of the United States may, while on official business within the commonwealth, carry such weapons as are authorized by his appointing authority.
