MA. Legislators Go To The Range With GOAL
Event Continues As A Great Success - Hands On Education For All.
MA legislators and staff in attendance at Gun Owners’ Action League’s 5th Annual Firearms Safety and Education Day continues to grow.
2013 Firearms Safety and Education Day for MA Legislators and
Staff
were surprised by how well they
performed.
This year, for the first time GOAL
incorporated a Scholastic Steel portion to the event which was run after lunch and open to all in attendance, for many it was their first
exposure to shooting sports competition. GOAL ran the “go fast” stage
with the 4 rectangles and the round
stop plate at center. Everyone that
attended had a great time, the legislators and staffers were cheering
and high fiving every time a new,
best time was posted, they loved it!

Once again Gun Owners’ Action
League’s (GOAL) 5th Annual Firearms Safety and Education Day for
MA Legislators and their staff was a
huge success.
GOAL invites every MA legislator
to attend and has seen a significant
increase in attendance every year. As
a matter of fact, Jim Wallace, GOAL
Exec. Director reports that the day is
often the topic of discussion in the
MA state house year round and especially in the weeks leading up to,
and following the event.
State Rep. Denise Andrews getting some trap shooting advice. She did great!
After a safety briefing by GOAL Director of Education Jon Green the
attendees were sent in groups to the
skeet range, the trap range, the pistol range and the rifle range where
they received instruction for each
discipline from GOAL’s experienced
volunteer instructors.
At each range the participants were
given hands on instruction which
introduced the shooting fundamentals of safe firearms handling
and marksmanship. They were then
assisted in loading and firing each
firearm, with a focus on the fundamentals; proper grip/stance, sight
alignment, and trigger pull. Many
attendees had fantastic results and
GOAL awarded the top three shooters, times were: Dave Murphy 2.75
sec, Bruce Hall 2.71 sec, Erik Hoskins
2.60 sec. GOAL will definitely incorporate this into the event going
forward, it was hugely popular and
generated a great amount of interaction amongst the participants.
Also of note, House Minority Whip
George Peterson asserted himself
as top gun at the State House via
his win in the informal Legislators
Trap Competition, congratulations
George!
For the first time at our Legislators FSED we ran an informal Scholastic Steel Pistol Competition (timed
steel target shooting) that turned out to be incredibly popular, here’s our winners, pictured from L-R.

volunteer instructors for making
the day possible.

Gun Owners’ Action League is the official state firearms association in
Massachusetts. We are an association of law-abiding citizens who believe
in the basic right of firearms ownership for competition, recreation and
self-protection.
GOAL works hard to defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights against
those in Massachusetts who wish to infringe upon the freedoms guaranteed by our forefathers. The programs sponsored and developed by Gun
Owners’ Action League are supported by competitors, sportsmen, recreational shooters and law enforcement throughout the state.
We were formed in 1974 to protect the right to keep and bear arms for lawful purposes in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We are recognized
as the state’s premier gun rights association.
Why You Should Join GOAL
Every intrusion on our gun rights is an intrusion on all rights. The Constitutional rights and freedoms that you enjoy - and may take for granted
- are becoming more fragile each day. Secure your rights for yourself, your
family and future generations. Join GOAL and become part of the solution

From the Executive Director
By Jim Wallace - GOAL Executive Director
Time for Mature Discussions, not Witch Hunts
Fresh from the NRA Annual meetings in Houston, Texas one thing
was very clear from the outset, the
war of words were already being
written before the speeches began.
The anti-civil rights shill machine
had already made up its mind that
we NRA members were a heartless group of radicals that must be
silenced at any cost. Ironically, the
same media pundits that call for
political minority superiority are
now trying to label NRA members
as a minority representation of the
American voters....apparently now
it’s a bad thing to be a minority
group according to the media. Wish
they would make up their mind.
The bottom line is that gun owners
from every walk of life are motivated by freedom and patriotism and
are more than willing to use their
own money, voice and votes to protect and pass on the greatest heritage established around the world.
Our opposition is motivated by fear,
fear for their supposed safety, fear of
us and perhaps most all fear caused
by lack of knowledge and education
on the subject. The latter is the fear
that has most caused great problems in societal issues throughout
the ages. For over a century now we
have been taught the fear of the unknown often leads to prejudice and
bigotry.
In any case 85,000 freedom loving Americans flocked to Houston
over the course of just three days.
Perhaps what aggravated our opponents the most is that tens of thousands of people all came together
and no community organizer had
to buy them a bus ticket and a free
lunch. Of course that statement
alone will probably get me labeled
a racist, bigot or something similar.
The fact is the diversity scene at the
NRA convention and sheer numbers could never be matched by our
detractors. Let’s see Nancy Pelosi or
Chuck Schumer put on a three day
conference where average working
class folks had to pay to get to and
attend major ticketed events. More
than likely their speeches would
not be heard over the noise of the
crickets chirping in the back of the
empty hall.
In early American history this was
played out in the infamous witch
hunts and trials that were the result
of unexplained deaths, so-called afflictions and other matters of fear.
This led to hysteria where the common uneducated people demanded
action and answers and leadership
responded to demands by creating an evil to persecute in order to
satisfy the mob. Early officials were
more than happy to create a system
of “background checks” to establish who was a witch. Most of these
checks would inevitably lead to the
persecution and ostracization of innocent citizens. Many ended in the
death of the person being “checked”.
is and has. Nonetheless, proposed
national licensing and check system
that would mirror the Massachusetts system very easily result in unwarranted labeling and persecution.
Rather than weed out the truly dangerous, the decade and a half long
system is designed to weed out the
suspected unsuitable, a very distinct
difference not easily dealt with by
the citizens on the receiving end.
How does one explain to family and
friends that you have been judged as
an undesirable, unsuitable person
after never having been convicted,
or even accused of a crime.
People who are not familiar with
how lawful gun owners are mistreated find sound bites like common
sense laws and background checks
that would keep violent people and
the mentally ill from supposedly
obtaining guns very reasonable.
Would they still agree if they had sat
in on the same meetings I have attended?
In recent months I have had government officials and academics both
tell me when it comes to restricting the rights of citizens, they are
more than fine with being wrong
fifty percent of the time if it means
increasing public safety. This means
that our government is fine with
persecuting one innocent person
for every guilty person...wow! The

wrong? That could explain why certain studies coming out of academia
don’t pass the smell test, but let’s
leave that for another day.
I have to believe that all Americans
would be repulsed by the idea that
licensing and background checks
would be designed with a fifty percent fail rate as acceptable. The old
term “good enough for government work” simply is not ok when
it comes to separating us from our
civil rights. If the government were
denying social security, welfare
or immigration at a fifty percent
fail rate the screams of the denied
would be heard on every major network. There would be community
organized marches, protests would
most likely erupt into violence, and
property damage would occur until
demands were met. Ironically, as demonized as we are, that doesn’t happen when gun owners protest.
If we are to be successful in a national discussion to improve public
safety then the witch hunts must
stop and education must begin. An
informed discussion is the best way
to avoid prejudiced mistakes and
poor decisions. From the endless ridiculous statements made from our
adversaries it is clear they know absolutely nothing about firearms or
firearm safety. For, that matter it is
clear they don’t know much about
how to keep the public safe either …
see border security for example.
Should the other side be willing to
end the witch hunt and actually begin a discussion we should begin
that with a tremendous effort to
educate them, that is should they be
willing. Gun owners should remain
vigilant in protecting our civil rights
and informing the public on the real
issues at hand.
One additional statement about socalled “compromise” that our opponents continue to use. The definition of that term is: “An agreement
or a settlement of a dispute that is
reached by each side making concessions.” What part of any proposal
regarding our Second Amendment
Civil Rights has the other side made
a single concession? That would
mean that we would get something
we don’t currently have … so much
for compromise.

Justin’s Take - Editorial by Justin Stasiowski
Guns banned in the United States.
The title of this article is taken from
a newspaper headline, in the future.
This future can be a decade away,
perhaps two or three, but it is inevitable if gun owners remain complacent. In light of recent tragedies
the proponents of the “government
knows best” policy decisions and
complacent media have sewn a web
of lies in an attempt to convince real
Americans that their so called common sense gun proposals will have
an impact on crime. They make
these claims even as crime rates
have plummeted in the past decade
while the right to carry a firearm has
soared nationally. As I have written
before laws designed to punish law
abiding citizens make for an excellent talking point on Sunday morning, but imprison honest people
that run afoul of them, perhaps by
walking in a “gun free zone” while
carrying. One may ask how I can
make the claim that magazine limits, “assault weapon” bans, and universal background checks are political.
Simply put, they are political because so called assault rifles are used
in the commission of less than 2%
of gun crimes. They are political
because criminals obtain their firearms overwhelmingly through illegal means including theft and cross
border trade. They are political because requiring a man to transfer
his father’s shotgun to his grandson
without government permission
becomes criminal and serves purely
to start to eat away at the shooting
sports one regulation at a time. As
has been said by Barry Snell of the
Iowa State Daily, gun owners suffer
“death from a thousand cuts” when
it comes to the diminishing state of
our rights in Washington.
Two major news headlines that
scottmalkasian
owner
failed to compete with the media
maelstrom surrounding the Newtown or Aurora theatre shootings
showcase the real culture war behind firearms. Ask anyone about
Jared Loughner, James Holmes, or
Adam Lanza and they will be able to
tell you their age, where they lived
and at least a few details about their
lives. But does anyone recall Nick
Meli? He certainly has not become
a household name.
Meli carried a concealed firearm
and upon hearing shots fired in
a mall drew his firearm and confronted the shooter. Unfortunately
two individuals were killed prior to
Meli’s heroic actions but ultimately
the assailant turned his firearm on
himself after being confronted by
an armed citizen. Had he had the
opportunity to continue his massacre without being challenged the violence and carnage could have been
far worse, but the headline much
more attractive to CNN, MSNBC
and the like.
These scenarios are actually not all
that rare. If one peruses Google it
is easy to find dozens of accounts
of citizens with firearms stopping
potentially tragic mass killings. The
media for whatever reason does not
find these stories in line with their
politics, agenda, or viable news stories.
Secondly, weeks ago a “flash mob”
descended upon the famous Magnificent Mile shopping district in
Chicago and attacked pedestrians
and shoppers. The real kicker in this
is that I am referencing the most recent assault, which occurred in late
March not August (as was briefly
covered when it occurred). The media has now blamed the heat for the
first assault (only a viable excuse
for the August attack), lack of afterschool activities, and lack of com-
munity funding, et al but NOT the
youth who committed the crimes.
In the culture war it appears that
it is impossible for the individual
to be responsible for their actions
but rather the community for some
sort of failure to accommodate. Interesting how this logic ends when
ideologies clash; the same luxury is
not afforded law abiding gun owners that run afoul of the laws by accident. I highlight this case because
not only did we hear very little from
the news about Chicago’s growing
violence problem but because it is
also a city where citizens are not allowed to protect themselves, even in
a time where the police have publicly claimed that they will not investigate a crime unless the suspect
remains on the scene. Folks, I cannot make this stuff up.
I challenge the President, Congress,
and even our own lawmakers here
in the commonwealth to explain
how the changes I have outlined
will do anything to INCREASE
Mass killing sprees, and even if
they do not decrease them, at least

If you have an LTC/FID & Recently
Changed Your Name - Read On!
We frequently get phone calls and emails about what an LTC/FID holder needs to do should their name
change, here’s the info:
“I’ve gotten married. How do I go
about changing my name on my
LTC?”
This is a common question we
get here in the GOAL office. The
procedure is fairly simple. Name
changes must be submitted to the
licensing officer in the town where
the license was issued. The licensing officer contacts DCJIS and they
will make the change in the system.
DCJIS does not provide reprints for
name changes, however, the new
name will be in the system and will
populate and print correctly upon
renewal.

Teaching Tool
At our recent Firearms Safety and
Education Day for MA Legislators
our friends from Smith & Wesson
thought to include one of their Real
Tree Camouflage pattern M&P Series, AR platform hunting rifles.
This rifle turned out to be a great
teaching tool for the legislators and
staffers in attendance as it showed
how an AR platform rifle is simply
a semi-automatic rifle, functionally
the same as any other.
It was great seeing those in attendance listen, learn, and enjoy shooting this rifle.
Thanks again to the crew from
Smith & Wesson for all of the help!
