Group Plans To Hand Out Free Shotguns in High-Crime Tucson NeighborhoodsPolitical gadfly Shaun McClusky has a new plan: He wants to hand out free shotguns
in high-crime Tucson neighborhoods.
McClusky says the lucky recipients will receive a cleaning kit, theyll receive the shotgun,
theyll receive slugs, theyll go through a background check and theyll also go through
the training class.
The program is a local affiliate of the Armed Citizen Project, which launched in
Houston earlier this year.
McClusky says hes already raised $12,000 in pledges for the program. With each package
costing about $350, that means he has enough money to hand out roughly three dozen
single-shot, break-action shotguns, says McClusky, who hopes to raise more money
to expand the program.

Some politician said this recently.

(14,120 posts)6. My appartment complex has been a buzz about all of a sudden.
No one is happy with the idea. There are a couple that do carry here but they do it for work. Once they come home, they lock up their gun. The only time we see them with their weapons is when they are coming home or going to work.
Some have even said they fear with so many guns around the area that our little community may become less quiet.
No, many do not like this idea.
