cali, dont use that old fid card ,that dont accept them anymore, in the old days fid was good for life , now with ma. strict gun laws they have to be renewed every 5 years,i thing its 100.00, to i know it for my pistl permit, if you have a old cali fid ,you might be able to just do a change of address,and have another background check,if not you might have to take a nra certifed gn class unless you already taken one, know in ma. to they want you to take a hunters safty class unless you have a old huntinglicense.I belive they have all the info on ma.fish and wildlife site, hope this helps you
