CONGRATS to Al Prescott and the rest of the Westford Pro2A crew!!

On Monday night, October 21, 2024, the lawful gun owners of Westford Massachusetts turnout in force to Town Meeting for the second time in a year, and blocked a anti-2A bylaw designed to make "Firearms Businesses" difficult if not impossible to open in our town. As Al Prescott, one of the founders of Westford Pro 2A, wrote in a subsequent local Op Ed regarding the need for such a bylaw:

"The lawful firearms owners of Westford are not persuaded. We have said so numerous times, and have been ignored every time. Why are we not persuaded? We do business with the businesses in Littleton, and have not experienced anything nefarious. We are told these businesses must be kept away from children for safety, yet the local sportsmen's clubs (where firearms are used often) host local cub scout packs. We have walked down the street where these businesses are located and have never felt endangered. Therefore, when asked to submit our "protected liberty" to conditions like a Special Permit, limits on locations, and setbacks, we have voted NO."

We are now waiting to see if the town, who broke state law and brought this proposal back in less than 2 years, will finally follow the law.
 
What is up with Westford. What a bunch of b*tches in that town. Glad I moved out of there.

Seems like every year, or every few months, they try to pass some anti 2A sh*t.

I always thought it would be funny AF if someone tried to pass a bylaw to make it illegal for whoever proposed the anti 2A bylaw to live there.

It's mainly driven by one women whose husband shot and killed their daughter and shot her and then took his own life. Tragic indeed and I understand her involving herself in these matters but punishing law abiding gun owners with laws that would not have stopped that shooting isn't right. The lady has a few women in town who support her as well as several anti-gun groups who are determined to put these rules/laws in place. This actually started back in 2013 (at least)

Yup. Moved out in 88.

If the Planning Board brought it forward I thought they were pretty much exempt from many rules and regs. I know for fact they sucked in Carlisle

Yes, I think it came out of planning.

I suspected that. They don’t even follow their own written rules for design and construction.
On par for the top two of the most evil boards in any town.
Don’t even get me started on conflict of interest issues as I was contacted to help a member during the day at his house. I declined.

Happened in 2010. The daughter that was killed was a classmate of one of my daughters- it was terrible. IIRC, there was a family argument about daughter wanting a horse, things escalated, 911 was called, and phone was hung up. Husband calmed down, but PD called back and that's when things ramped back up and the husband killed the kid, shot the wife, then himself.
The weapon was a Glock (specifically mentioned by the wife during her speech last time this was at Town Meeting), straw-purchased by a cop friend of the husband (wife also admits that husband's friend bought if for him).
It would be interesting to know which cop purchased it.

Classic case of them wanting to ban legal firearms since an illegal one was used in an illegal crime.

Awful thing. Having lost my only son in 2012 there is no greater pain. I understand what drives her, and would never criticize her personally, but the vast majority of firearm owners are not the problem and should never be blamed for the actions of someone who had a breakdown.

It was a straw purchase but no one got in trouble?
