It's not unusual for us to receive phone calls from MA gun owners who are looking for guidance and are not members of GOAL.
Often times they ask
"why should I join GOAL?"
The answer is simple: "our answering of your phone call and question is made possible by GOAL members".
We are more than just a resource though, we continually work to protect & restore Second Amendment freedom, we support many education efforts including our full training schedule and we proudly represent the interests of all law abiding gun owners.
