Masonic Lodge which owns a longrifle
« on: June 13, 2013, 03:27:16 PM »
Is there a Masonic Lodge that owns a famous longrifle/Hawken?  I seem to recollect such, but cannot recall the specifics.  I also think that Peter Alexander's lodge  regularly raffles off a longrifle.  I am writing a diatribe to our grand lodge which recently refused to let me bring a Jamestown rifle with masonic symbols into our local lodge building because evil guns are not allowed.  Perhaps this needs to go to another forum.  Feel free to move it if so.  Thanks.

You might try a search of old post on this subject.  I posted some photos of William Lamb & Son rifle that is covered with Masonic Symbols about a year ago.  Someone at that time responded with photos of a rifle that was presented to a Masonic Lodge that I think was located in Texas or a state near it.

Try searching for "Rifles with Masonic Symbols."

I have owned many Jamestown Rifles that have one or two Masonic Symbols and know of two of them that have over a dozen Masonic inlays on them.

Is your rifle signed?

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

There is a Peter Alexander, Masonic based, rifle going to be raffled off June 28th in Pennsylvania. Proceeds to benefit the Masonic lodge that sponsored the raffle. Ticket purchase ended last Friday.
