At stop number 10, in Springfield, MA, the Gun Law Listening Tour comes to an end. The topic was so-called “impacted communities.” The turnout was low. What we’d like to know: Was anything accomplished, whether good, bad, or indifferent? Was anyone swayed towards or away from the pro-gun or anti-gun side? We’re just not sure.

Stop number nine of the Massachusetts Gun Law Listening Tour took place at Northern Essex Community College in Lawrence, Mass. The subject: Training and Shooting.

The eighth stop on the Massachusetts Gun Law Listening Tour took place at a high school in New Bedford, MA. The topic was so-called “impacted communities.” NB is known as a high-crime city where individuals might feel the need to carry a gun. Despite this, the audience turnout was rather lackluster.

A police detective had a major “whoopsie” in the men’s room at a boy’s school that almost landed him in some serious doo-doo. A so-called “swatting” call was made, targeting a prep school, which led to a negligent discharge by a police employee which then prompted an even bigger response.

The Massachusetts Gun Law Listening Tour had yet another stop in Framingham. The subject was a relevant one: school shootings. There were people present from both sides of the 2A argument. As expected, the red and orange shirts had arguments based on emotion and void of logic. After all, even though pro-gun folks are allowed to attend and even speak, its a tour with an anti-gun agenda, isn’t it?

This stop on the Massachusetts Gun Law Listening Tour centered around scary “ghost guns”. Just as with the term “assault rifle”, the term “ghost gun” was created intentionally with a negative connotation. To scare people. So-called ghost guns are nothing more than DIY guns which Americans have been producing since the founding of our country and even earlier.

On May 8, the city of Brockton, MA was “blessed” with yet another Gun Law Listening Tour. This stop on the tour saw a larger turnout from the ladies of the DC Project and also brought to our attention a group we haven’t heard of before: “Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence.” Read on to see how it went!

It’s good to see that the anti-gun state of Massachusetts finally added some pro-gun panelists to their government-sponsored Gun Law Listening Tour. While we are still not exactly sure what the state expects to accomplish with these popup panels, its good to see the “good guys” finally get some representation.

If you’ve never been to the NRA Annual Meetings, Charlie Cook of Riding Shotgun with Charlie, gives us the first-hand lowdown. Aside from all of the great things that take place on the business and political level, its a great place to meet or reunite with some of the best people on the planet.

If you missed this year’s GOAL Concealed Carry Fashion Show & Export, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Charlie Cook of Riding Shotgun with Charlie was among the 100+ attendees. The 18 models showed off lots of great gear for both men and women!

We all know there’s certain states in the union that are just rabidly anti-gun. Massachusetts is one of them. It seems as though the state is sponsoring what seems to be an unbalanced, anti-gun, “listening tours” that can pop up anywhere at any time. Charlie Cook, host of the Riding Shotgun with Charlie podcast, was present at one of these so-called “listening tours” recently.
