The great state of firearms defense and conservatism known as Massachusetts has decided that turkey hunters now require a bright green sticker affixed to the barrels of their shotguns in order to cut down hunting accidents.


Turkey -Permit required. Official safety sticker must be adhered to firearm in such a manner as to be visible when hunter is sighting down the barrel. If new or replacement sticker is needed, send self addressed stamped envelope to MassWildlife's Field Headquarters office.

Realistically turkey hunting is dangerous in and of itself with the full out camo'd and geared out hunters, but the sticker? I've never heard of such a thing before. Is this common?

This sounds like an idea born of the mind of someone whose head is shoved deep, deep inside "if it only saves one life"-land.
