2011 Legislation; Bills to watch
GOAL Shield LogoOur "Civil Rights and Public Safety" Act has a new number, H.1568!

The majority of these bills are good news for MA Gun Owners and Sportsmen, as always we need to be vigilant and continue to follow ALL of them. 

As always GOAL will keep you posted as information develops

Annual Raffle!
Each year, we ask all our members to participate in our Annual Raffle.

 

We need to raise the funds to continue to promote our reform bill and continue to fight for the rights of Massachusetts gun owners.

 

This Annual Raffle is our primary fund raising event for the year and is vitally necessary to our continued success.

 

Tickets are $5.00 each, and you may purchase tickets online, at GOAL headquarters, or by calling the GOAL office at (508) 393-5333.


 



**Please note that due to postal regulations, we cannot send any part of a raffle ticket through the mail.**
