#HealeyHurtsFamilies - Take Action To End Abusive Action from Attorney General Maura Healey!
Pittsfield Stand Out - TONIGHT!

GOAL Action Alert – Pittsfield Stand Out!

At the Pittsfield rotary (near the Civil War Memorial) on US Rte 7. GOAL Executive Director Jim Wallace will be in town on the 5th of August to record the GOAL TV show, so he'd like to get some people to stand out with him at the rotary.
What to do:
Stand out with GOAL and make your voice heard (and seen) GOAL will supply more information regarding signage, for now, bring your American flags and be ready to stand out against abuse from the office of Attorney General Maura Healey.
Are You A GOAL Member?

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.
