I'm visiting my mom in a few weeks. I'm flying through Boston and let my mass carry permit expire. Does anyone here have I loaner I could carry for a week?

Unsolicited answer you probably don't want to hear, but anyone considering your solicitation needs to hear:
The 1968 GCA only allows the "loan" of a firearm to a resident of another state for lawful sporting purposes. Something like lending a person a long gun to go hunting with, or a handgun for an IDPA shoot. Otherwise, giving a gun to someone and leaving their presence for an extended period of time to go about their business on their own is generally considered a transfer of possession, regardless of any agreement to give it back at a later date.
Caveat emptor.

I started to ask about whether this was inherently illegal, then realized it would be a transfer to a resident from another state, so, I answered my own question....
I believe.... if @03RN were to ship his own pistol, addressed to himself, but c/o someone near his destination, he could pick it up and that would be within the law... ???
I assume when I read the OP, that "flying through Boston"means "staying a few days in Boston"..?
If flying from Home to AZ with a transfer in Boston, you could just check the gun with the airline and pick it up in AZ when you land... The transfer in Boston wouldn't be illegal, as long as you didn't get stuck in Boston and have to pick up your bag..... No??

In Alaska, it is pretty common to loan a friend visiting, a firearm for bear defense. However that person would be using it in your presence, and Alaska ain't the lower 48.
