Massachusetts Gun Store Remaining Open in Defiance of Governor’s “Non-Essential” Declaration

A Massachusetts gun store is remaining open even after Governor Charlie Baker labeled firearm retail establishments “non-essential” and directive them to close under the commonwealth’s state of emergency declaration.
