Book excerpt: From the ForewordMark Shean's "Gun Sense" is in reality a series of numbered and un-numbered articles assembled into a book. In 2018, after one of Mark's License to Carry (LTC) classes, he was talking about wanting to take his blog and turn it into an E-book. There was a desire to be able to reach a wider audience and make it easier for his students to follow along with him/review the material. Mark Shean comes to readers with a combination of over 55 years of firearms, NRA LE Instructor and Nuclear security experience. Though originally from Maine, Mark has been teaching the Massachusetts gun law class since 2000. "Gun Sense" is not so much a book you read from the first page to the last (even though you could and should), as much as it is a guide to topics on gun safety, Massachusetts gun law, your general rights as an American, op-eds and so on and so forth, that can apply anywhere. The synergy of this work is that Mark just started writing these articles as the topics came to him. These are ideas that came to him in the order that they are presented here, over years. There are sections that are redundant and cover the same material over again, for a reason. In compiling the over 50 independent pieces, we have tried to lend some help in organization by referencing other "Gun Sense" chapters, which would give you more information on a certain subject. Chances are if you have a question when reading "Gun Sense" or taking Mark's class, the question will be answered by the time you finish reading the book or sitting in on the class.The good news is that Mark is a tangible and accessible guy. All you have to do is find his contact information at the end of this book in the "About the Author" section and if you have any questions, comments, concerns or general correspondence, Mark would be happy to field them. Also, if you are reading this book as a companion to his class, that is awesome and you'll find having this text handy while in class or before/after class will help reinforce the lessons he teaches. If you are reading this book and are thinking that you want some training, all the better. Reach out to Mark and he'd be happy to talk to you about a training session or teaching you the required class to obtain a Massachusetts Firearms Identification Card (FID) or License to Carry (LTC).Included are Appendixes with helpful information and plenty of citations through the text.
