Massachusetts Rifle Association - "America's Oldest Active Gun Club"

One of our Directors stopped by with his 1862 US Model 1861 rifle-musket made in Springfield, MA.

The Massachusetts Rifle Association community is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Edward George, a Life Member, Counsel to our Board of Directors, and friend.

Edward was a passionate advocate for the shooting sports, youth shooting programs, and a strong supporter of our community for many years. He was also a longtime member of the MRA Pistol Team and brought back the "Chevalier Ira Paine Pistol Match" honoring a notable marksman and member from the 1880s.

His dedication, voice, and commitment to preserving and promoting the traditions of responsible fi****ms ownership will not be forgotten and service as an enduring legacy.

Our thoughts and condolences are with his wife Janet, and his family, his many friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Rest in peace, Ed.

The Massachusetts Rifle Association may be America's oldest active gun club but we don't go all the way back to the introduction of hand cannons.

That said, we encountered one of our members with one on the range this Sunday. What a BLAST! 💥
