GOAL, NRA, NSSF

Maine: Maine Gov. Paul LePage has signed a bill that will allow residents to carry a

concealed handgun without obtaining a permit. Maine will become the sixth state in the

country with such a policy. Supporters of the bill say permits are a burden on responsible gun

owners and don't prevent bad people from carrying firearms. The bill deeply divided Maine’s

law enforcement community. Maine State Police supported it, but many local law enforcement

agencies opposed it. Read the full article at www.wmtw.com.

NRA: For the second time in little more than a year, a federal appeals court Tuesday upheld a

controversial Florida law that restricts doctors from asking questions and recording information

about patients’ gun ownership. The 2-1 decision by a panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of

Appeals was a victory for the National Rifle Association and other gun-rights advocates and a

defeat for medical groups that argued, at least in part, that the law infringed on doctors’ First

Amendment rights. Dubbed the “docs vs. glocks” law, the measure includes a series of

restrictions on doctors and other health providers. As an example, it seeks to prevent

physicians from entering information about gun ownership into medical records if the

physicians know the information is not “relevant” to patients’ medical care or safety or to the

safety of other people. The full story is at www.nraila.org.

Airports: The Hill has reported that a House Democrat is introducing legislation to ban guns

in airport areas that are located before security checkpoints. Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) said

the measure, which has been dubbed the Airport Security Act of 2015, would prevent anyone

other than police officers from carrying guns in areas of airports that are located before

security checkpoints, even if they have a license to carry concealed weapons. Transportation

Security Administration rules currently prohibit passengers from carrying guns beyond security

checkpoints in carry-on luggage, but some weapons can be packed into checked baggage if

they are unloaded and locked in cases. Full article at www.thehill.com.

Ohio: A 62-year-old Cincinnati man with a gun in each hand fired at four people – including a

1-year-old boy – before a civilian with a concealed carry permit returned fire and wounded the

shooter, cops told FOX19. The attack happened on July 26. Thomas McCary is being held

without bond on four counts of felonious assault. McCary was arguing with a woman around 8

p.m. Sunday night and, when the woman’s brother, Patrick Ewing, approached, McCary pulled

out a .38-caliber handgun and fired three shots at him, Cincinnati police said. Ewing didn’t get

hit, but he did get his own gun and returned fire, wounding McCary in the leg. McCary was

taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was arrested at 2:30 a.m. He

was treated, released. Full article at www.foxnews.com.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT

Indoor Range Status

Finally! The indoor range officially opened on Friday, July 24, 2015. Due to a lot of work by a

large number of volunteers, over many months, the range is now open to shooting. I will not

try to name the many people who worked to make this happen because I am sure that

someone would be missed. Thanks to everyone who helped or offered moral support.

A special thanks to the entire membership of Danvers Fish and Game Club who went without

their range for almost three years. Your patience is truly appreciated. It has been a long and

expensive process but the range is once again yours to use. It is now a place where you can

shoot without having to worry about air quality. Enjoy!!

On Sunday, August 23, 2015 there will be an open house celebration at your new range

from 11:00am to 2:00pm. You will have an opportunity to see the range and to ask questions

about the range. Hotdogs, soda and cake will be served. Please drop by if you have a chance.

New Release and Indemnity Agreement Forms

In today’s times liability issues are ever present. The club has entered into new insurance

agreements with expanded coverage to help protect the club in the event that we are sued. I

have had many discussions with our new insurance company, the board of directors and

Attorney Edward George concerning other things that we could do to help protect the club

including the drafting of two new release forms that identify and warn of hazards that might be

encountered at the club as part of the language in the release document. There are two forms.

One form is for all minors using our facilities and it must be completed by a parent or guardian.

The other form is to be completed by all new members when they join the club and by anyone

who uses our facilities as a guest. The board of directors directed that these forms are to be

used at all of our ranges beginning July 1, 2015. Please make sure that any guests or minors

that accompany you to the club complete the required release and indemnity agreements.

Thanks.

Committees

During the last year I have had the good fortune to be supported by a large group of individuals

who volunteered to help make positive changes at Danvers Fish and game Club. One

committee helped to eliminate several committees that were no longer needed and combined

other committees. Their efforts resulted in the creation of the IT Committee as a standing

committee. Another group volunteered to help streamline the membership process at the club

and bring the membership committee functions back on site. There were three members who

came forward to offer their services to help form a finance committee at the club that will help

us manage our money effectively after our long term treasurer John Stanchfield steps down

next year.

The committees that run our ranges have done an outstanding job and every range is to be

complimented. The chairmen of the committees have all worked hard with their teams to keep

the ranges open and functioning or to solve problems that kept the range from being utilized.

The following people served on one or more committees: R. D’Ambrsio, W. Appel B. Campilio,

C. Camora, S. Chaet, E. Cakounes, D. Gentile, D. Lapointe, G. Motta, J. Princi, P. Richardson,

J. Reynolds, C. Rudolph, R. Slane, W. Swift, J., R. Tozier, Vasapoli and C. Zullo. My apologies

if I missed anyone.

Thank You All for your hard work and dedication to our club!!!

Board of Directors

The officers and directors of the club have supported me for the past year. We have certainly

not always seen things the same way but we have always been able to reach consensus on

issues important to the club. I wish to thank all of them for their help, guidance and

understanding. I couldn’t have accomplished what I wanted to without their help. Thanks!!

Website

Please visit your website at www.danversfishandgameclub.com. There is a lot of info on the

site including the calendar, special announcements, the call letter, links to other websites, etc.,

etc.

Members of Danvers Fish and Game Club

Thank you!!!! for giving me the opportunity to serve you. It has truly been an honor and a

pleasure. I promise to stay involved and hopefully continue to be able to help the club move

forward in the years to come.

VICE PRESIDENTS REPORT

My last event as Vice President will be the Presidents’ Picnic on Sunday September 13 2015

I'm looking for some members to help out with the picnic. I need a group of volunteers to help

for a couple of hours to get the picnic area setup on Saturday morning September 12 /

2015 at 8 am, we need the picnic tables moved around and the portable tables brought out

and set up. I am also looking for someone to mow the grass in the picnic area sometime during

the week before. Plus remove the lumber pile from the old picnic tables

I need the members to help clean up after the picnic, take a few minutes and help put the

portable tables away, clean up your area put the trash in the dumpster. See the flyer in this call

letter for ticket information and remember to bring your own drinks and snacks.

I would like to thank the membership for allowing me to serve as vice- president for the last

year.

SKEET/ 5 Stand

It has been a busy summer down here at the “ALAMO”, lots of activity on the weekend with

The Skeet R/O Picnic was held on August 8th a great time was had by all who attended.

Thanks to the crew that helped to make it a success, setting up, prepping, cooking, and

cleaning up.

PIN RANGE

After years of discussions, months of planning and weeks of prep work the Pin Range has a

new roof and an addition.

Thanks to some very dedicated individuals we were able to save a substantial amount of

money and accomplish more than we originally set out to do. Tom Potter and John Sironi

worked two consecutive weeks to prep the range and the two 40' pieces of steel, in addition to

removing half of the poles that made up the original roof. By doing this we were able to divert

the excavator to the 22 caliber range to dig out the pit and set the 12 cement blocks that make

the wall.

Bryan Campilio made a huge score by contracting Matt @ EKB Equipment and negotiating a

price that kept us within budget. Anyone needing excavation work or tree removals feel free to

contact Matt Bergeron @ 978-360-4357 or matthewbergeron@gmail.com and tell him

Bryan@DF&G recommended him.

A huge thank you to Luiz Quaresma who was our general contractor. He kept the project

moving forward. Luiz is the owner of LQ Contracting and if you have any carpentry work that

needs to be done, I would recommend Luiz. Come by the Pin Range and see what he

accomplished. For a free estimate contact Luiz @ 978-479-0016

All the work, except for the excavation was done by club members who gave up their Saturday

and Sunday improve DF&G. Thank you to Jim the butcher, Aufiero, Eric Strimbeck, Kevin

Cushman, Oleg Boulanov, Scott Murray, Charlie Rudolph, Philip Mancuso and Jamie Wicks.

Without members like these this project would not have happen or if it did the cost would have

been much more then what it was.

The 22 cal range (right side) is not open as yet. We have some digging and grading to do but

we hope to have it open within the month and could be open before you read this.

As a reminder, guests still need to sign the new release forms and pay the $10 guest fee.

Please come with the correct change because we do not make change at the range. If we

happen to have change because someone already paid, we will gladly accommodate you.

As always your questions, comments and concerns mean a lot to me. My wife always tells me

"you can't fix what you don't know is broken." Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

There will be a 25 Steel Match on Sunday September 13th at 12:00pm. $5 a gun. Stock,

Open and Revolver class. 10 round mag limit, unlimited mags. This will be a timed event. Any

questions call Bryan @ 978-828-7387

Hope to see you at the Pin Range

Chris Zullo, Bryan Campilio

TRAP

participants won 100 Lobsters.

On that day, 6:30 PM, we will be registering returning members and new students for the NRA

Basic Rifle Course. New students must be at least 12 years old. Parent or guardian sponsor

does not have to be a DF&GC member. We encourage sponsors to volunteer and be involved.

On the next two Fridays, 9/18 and 9/25, registration will continue and mandatory attendance

for new shooters orientation with their sponsor/parent will be on Sept. 25th at 6:30 PM in the

main hall. The instruction will commence on Oct. 4th and last approximately ten weeks.

Returning Junior Division members will be invited to shoot on Sept. 18 and every Friday

through June of 2016. The cost for the program, including instruction, use of rifles and

equipment is $65/member, payable by check or money order to DF&GC. Upon successful

completion of the course, new members can participate in the regular four-position shooting

schedule and will be eligible for their MA State Police F.I.D. Card certificate. During regular

Friday sessions, members are expected to pay $.50/target including provided ammunition and

to retain their scored targets for record of advancement. For further info contact the Club at
