The real problem is that my last trip to MA with a firearm was about nine
years ago.  I'm just working with old information...

You shed a lot of light on the subject.

Mass State Police are supposed to call me back.  The first answer they gave
me was that I could have a firearm, unloaded and secure, while traveling.
The lady wasn't sure about the spray, and referred me somewhere else.  I'll
know by Monday...
