A Message to Kids about Guns

Properly Storing a Firearm

Reasons to Tuck in Your Shirt (This is a short video provided by a former course participant. Please see how many firearms the high school student conceals with out your knowing it.)

Your Government - (This is a short video link provided by a former course participant. The young woman testifying before a senate panel is absolutely RIGHT ON! Her courage and nerve are commendable. I don't know who she is--or when this was made--but the TRUTH of her closing statement is crucial to all of our survival as a free people.)

Help Protect the Criminal - (This is a short video link provided by a former course participant. There is a criminal in this video thanking everyone who promotes gun control for making it easier for them to deal drugs, steal, and kill.)

Not following Safe Gun Handling Rule #1 - (This is a short video link provided by a former course participant.  A person with a shot gun does not keep the shotgun pointed in a safe direction.)

Boston Legal (William Shatner) - (This is a short video link provided by a former course participant.) Here William Shatner uses a handgun in the series to thwart his being held up.

K-Tel and the Back Up - (This is a short video link provided by a former course participant. Please note that the content in this is for entertainment only and is not a safe nor valid method for storing shotguns in Massachusetts.)

Lucky Sportsman- This guy is shooting a 50 CAL. Watch the dust when he fires. The target,  is a steel plate, 1000 yards away. You can hear the  ping of the hit, and  then the bullet comes back and hits the ground just  in front of his position,
then tumbles up hitting the earmuffs, knocking them off of his  head. The footage is amazing. You can hear the bullet  as it tumbles  through the air on its course back toward the shooter. He's lucky it hit the dirt first. He is okay, and obviously very lucky. The bullet grazed his temple. What a difference a half an inch makes!

Ted Nugent and Firearms (This is a short video link provided by a former course participant.) Everyone has an opinion regarding firearms and although you may not agree, you need to respect the person for having an opinion. In this video, Ted shares his opinion regarding firearms, the Second Amendment, and a persons right to defend themselves.

Not on a Massachusetts LTC - This is a short video on a machine gun that you cannot have on your MA LTC. In reality, you cannot have any machine gun on an LTC!
