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.
If you are not a member, please consider joining, you can do so online here: http://goal.org/joingoal.html

Glock & Remington File Suit Against Healey
In her quest for political glory, AG Healey has not let due process, facts, the law, or truth get in her way. This was clearly illustrated in her targeting of firearms manufacturers, claiming that Glock's are unsafe, then citing three cases of negligent discharge. This is outright dishonesty from our Attorney General. All three cases involved operator error, not defect.

GOAL would like to thank Four Seasons Firearms and John K. Pease Engraving.
Four Seasons donated a 4” Smith & Wesson 686 revolver that will be engraved by John K. Pease Engraving of Chester Massachusetts. Mr. Pease contacted GOAL shortly after the AGO announcement and offered to engrave a handgun that will be raffled or auctioned off to help GOAL’s battle with unjust officials. We expect to have this item available for viewing around early spring of 2017.

If they can do it to us, they can do it to you!
On July 20, 2016 Attorney General Maura Healey announced a deliberate misinterpretation of the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts via a highly controversial enforcement notice posted on her website. There was no due process, no public input, no members of the legislature debated her enforcement notice and the governor never signed it into law. Hundreds of thousands of licensed gun owners are now threatened by Healey with a ten year felony charge for failure to comply to the information posted on her webpage.
(She also wrote that her enforcement notice is open to change at her discretion.)
Attorney General Healey's actions demonstrated a complete disregard for due process, she did it to advance a political agenda for her personal gain, she usurped the power of the legislature, she silenced the courts, and she muted the voice of the voters of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
It is wrong. To say otherwise is a distortion of the truth, please click the link below and join our efforts to stop the abusive action from AG Healey.
