Mike Yacino Sr., father of the Mike Yacino who posts here and has his own gun shop, was for several years executive director of GOAL (Gun Owners Action League) here in Mass.
when the law was passed in Mass about locking guns up and trigger locks Mike went directly to the State House and demanded to the governor that the muskets displayed high on the wall in the governor’s office be immediately equipped with trigger locks. The governor realized at that point how ridiculous the law was... but it was too late - it was the law and the muskets were not exempt.

Mike was a fireball and a great friend of firearms owners.

It's funny (head scratch funny, not ha-ha funny) that the news of the Mass. trigger locks on the muskets in the State House made the news in Missouri. I guess ya gotta be famous for something.

I have removed my post as it was indeed too political (and a preposterous digression from the Thread topic as well).

Please proceed with illustrating and describing how we display our classic gun ephemera.

I'm just curious...are video games that include shooting and killing likenesses of humans banned in MA? Let me guess...no? How about violent movies -- are they also banned?

There are times it's frustrating living in the Show-Me State, but after learning about your state, I'm feeling better.
