The club house will be closed today – Tuesday March 14th, 2023 due to the snow fall and accumulation. Out of an abundance of caution, we ask for your patience and understanding. Join us next Tuesday – March 21st for our Second Meeting of the month and some great food from Mike and the Kitchen Crew!
Self-defense is a natural right. As a LTC citizen you have the right to defend yourself with your gun – if justified. The “if justified” is determined by the law, the justice system and the courts. If you are forced to go to your gun, there will be two fights: the physical fight and the legal fight. Make no mistake about it, the law of self-defense can be counterintuitive. Winning the physical fight is only half the battle since losing the legal fight can result in you going to jail for a long time. Be prepared not to lose the legal fight – KNOW THE LAW.
John McAdam, Ph D will be visiting The Tewksbury Rod & Gun Club on Sunday March 12th from 9am to 1pm. If you are interesting in attending John’s session there is a cost of $50. Please contact Jeff Blute to sign up.
