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.

The Gun Owners' Action League and American Legion Riders Post 234 are sponsoring Erik's Ride, a Bike Run and Poker Shoot on Saturday September 30th.

At each range you will shoot one shot at a target that consists of playing cards, then you ride to the next range. Repeat the process until you've shot at 5 cards on five different ranges and "built" a poker hand.
(Please note, you must supply your own MA legal handgun and ammunition)
Best hand wins, and there's a cookout, with entertainment and raffles at the American Legion in Northborough afterwards, beginning at 3:00 PM.
All proceeds will benefit families in need who have lost loved ones to substance abuse.
