Now from Plymouth. Thank you Chief Flynn and officers of the Plymouth Police Department. 2 down, 349 to go.

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM CHIEF DANA FLYNN TO THE RESIDENTS OF PLYMOUTH AND THE COMMONWEALTH.

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR MASSACHUSETTS ELECTED OFFICIALS IN REGARDS TO THIS BILL.

To The Residents of the Town of Plymouth:

As I enter my third year as your police chief, responsible for overseeing the 123 sworn men and women who serve the more than 60,000 of you day in and day out, my duty compels me to speak up.

I have read the relevant portions of H.D. 4420, a bill proposing a substantial rewrite of Massachusetts’ existing gun laws. Despite claims this bill attempts to stem the flow of illegal fi****ms into the state while increasing protection from gun violence, I see no language that would lead one to believe this rationale to be true. Instead, it appears the only thing this bill will accomplish is turning thousands of our law-abiding residents into criminals overnight.

This bill seems more designed to invade the privacy and vandalize and confiscate the property of law-abiding citizens than it does protecting them.

As we saw all too clearly this week in the State Forest, our issue is with criminals who have guns NOW, not those we stand to make into criminals LATER. Instead of punishing criminals or those prohibited from possessing fi****ms, this bill targets lawful gun owners who are some of the most well vetted in both the Commonwealth and the entire nation. There is nothing in this bill that mandates the judicial system enforce the laws currently in full force and effect.

When was the last time anyone served time under Bartley-Fox? For instance, we now know attempting to shoot and murder seven people, including five police officers, will result in just five to seven years in prison.

We recently had an incident in our community where a lawfully licensed firearm holder stopped the attempted kidnapping, and potentially worse, of a woman in a domestic violence incident. This gentleman was a contractor working at a residence across the street. Under this bill, if this Samaritan did not have expressed written consent of the victim/homeowner to have his firearm on her premises, he would be subject to a criminal charge. The same goes for an off-duty Plymouth County Sheriff’s deputy who saved countless lives a few years back when he ended a stabbing rampage in a Taunton restaurant.

Instead of being recognized as the heroes they are, they would be charged with a crime, and recognized at their arraignment.

In nothing else, this bill will make both enforcement and compliance with our laws even more complicated and confusing. As anyone who has had the unfortunate experience of trying to navigate our already-strict gun laws knows, it’s already confusing enough. The fi****ms law guide used by our officers already clocks in at well over 400 pages. This bill will jostle definitions and provisions all around the books with various changes, placing our laws into an even greater state of misunderstanding and chaos.
As a licensing authority which consistently ranks within the top ten municipalities in the entire Commonwealth for the number of fi****ms licenses, this is of grave concern to me.

As a law enforcement officer first and foremost, I take the duty of protecting persons from any type of violence as my ultimate mission. However, this bill targets the wrong individuals and needs to be reconsidered.

In closing, I urge our State House delegation to withhold their support from this bill as written.

Sincerely,

Chief Dana. A. Flynn

Ware's Finest said it better than we can. Call your representatives and ask them to file HD 4420 in the circular filing cabinet on the floor where it belongs. Also, thank you Ware Police Department for standing up for the Constitutional rights of your residents. It would be nice to hear this sentiment from the other 350 city and town departments in the Commonwealth.

The Ware Police Department would like to bring an important matter to your attention: the proposed anti-gun Bill currently under consideration (HD 4420, An Act Modernizing Fi****ms Laws). We understand that this state-level legislation has raised concerns among law-abiding citizens who value their Second Amendment rights.

We recognize that the right to bear arms is a fundamental aspect of our nation's history and an essential component of personal and collective security. As members of the police force, we are committed to upholding the law and defending the rights of our community members.

A plethora of blatantly unconstitutional proposals litter this travesty of a Bill, too many to mention here; however, of particular egregiousness is the criminalization of carrying fi****ms in certain so-called “prohibited locations”, including businesses and private properties, EVEN WHILE HOLDING A VALID LICENSE TO CARRY. Not even off-duty police officers will be exempted from this appalling mandate.

Gun Free zones have been proven to have no effect on stopping crime, in fact they embolden criminals to seek out these areas as soft targets of opportunity, where their chances of meeting resistance will be minimal.

This Bill does not address criminals. Rather it focuses on making criminals out of law-abiding citizens and further hampers police agencies from combating true crime.

We believe that public input and engagement are crucial in shaping legislation that reflects the diverse perspectives and concerns of our citizens. Therefore, we encourage you, the citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, who have a long and storied history of throwing off the chains of our oppressors (let not this tradition die in the hands of our generation), to actively participate in the democratic process by voicing your opinions and taking appropriate actions to safeguard your rights.

Here are a few ways you can make a difference:

1. Educate yourself: Familiarize yourself with the details of the proposed anti-gun Bill. Read the legislation, study its potential impact, and understand its implications for your rights as a responsible gun owner.
2. Communicate with your elected representatives: Reach out to your local, state, and federal representatives to express your concerns about the Bill. Write letters, and make phone calls to ensure your voice is heard.
3. Encourage open dialogue: Foster constructive conversations about gun ownership, emphasizing responsible practices and the importance of preserving individual liberties. Engage in respectful discussions with friends, family, and neighbors to promote understanding and awareness.
4. Stay informed and mobilize: Keep yourself updated on the progress of the bill and its potential impact on your rights. Stay connected with local gun rights organizations and be prepared to mobilize if necessary.

Remember, your involvement in shaping legislation that impacts your rights is vital. By actively participating and voicing your concerns, you contribute to the democratic process and help ensure that legislation is fair, balanced, and respects the rights of responsible citizens.

The Ware Police Department encourages respectful and law-abiding civic engagement on this matter. We are committed to maintaining the safety and security of our community while upholding the rights enshrined in our Constitution.

Thank you for your attention and active participation.

-Ware PD

Ammo is expensive, but it's important to keep up with your training. If you are having trouble finding ammo or have other fi****ms related questions, reach out to your MVGC community. We may be able to help!

Hello MVGC Family, we're seeing some new followers to the page and we also welcomed 10 new members last night. For all that are interested in the club, welcome!

Hey MVGC Family - there's some new blood in the admin pool! This is a friendly reminder for members that the range is hot 24x7 and that safety is always priority #1. Like social media, ear and eye protection are required!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
MVGC will be closed from 9am on Monday February 22nd through 6pm the next day (February 23rd). This is to allow deep cleaning and waxing of the floors (needs to dry). We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please note that the club will fully open on the 15th and 16th of February, which was when this cleaning was originally scheduled. Our cleaning service needed to reschedule. Thank you!

*Update dates, see below*

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
MVGC shall be closed for regular deep cleaning from 9am February 22nd to 6pm the next day (23rd). This allows for our waxed floors to dry.

Also, please note that the in accordance with the Governors lifted curfew, we are no longer closed at 9:30pm daily, so feel free to come as wish.

Please note that the club will be open on the 15th and 16th. Originally we were going to shut down for cleaning these days, but this has now changed the following week.

MVGC IS OPEN: Per rules released by the Governors Office, we're "allowed" to reopen as a gun range in Massachusetts as of Monday (5/18/2020). As a club, we've taken steps to ensure our safety, including more frequent cleaning service visits, providing additional sanitation equipment, and posting public health guidelines in the club. We ask that club members follow these directives. It's best practice and common sense to wear a mask (we do not provide them), ensure proper hygiene, and maintain physical distance from others (6 feet). Additional announcements to come regarding new member orientation and pistol school. Welcome back!

Mystic Valley Gun Club is closed until further notice due to concerns regarding COVID19 and the actions of the Baker Administration to remove firearm retailers and shooting ranges from the list of essential businesses.

Please call Governor Charlie Baker’s office at 617-725-4005 and request that firearm dealers are designated an essential business!

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
1. New Member Orientation for this month on 3/19/2020 is canceled, due to a mixture of current COVID-19 concerns and the new directives issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts regarding public events.
2. Current pistol school session is postponed. There are two remaining class nights, which will be rescheduled at a later date. All 10 participants will be contracted directly. Our next session starting April 8th is still scheduled. Any changes to this class will be communicated accordingly with confirmed participants, here on Facebook, and an email blast through our newsletter.

Education is key. We highly recommend Gun Owners' Action League's legal classes to better understand Massachusetts gun laws. Their next class is next week (3/18/2020).
