Group Plans To Hand Out Free Shotguns in High-Crime Tucson Neighborhoods [View all]

Political 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, they’ll receive the shotgun,
they’ll receive slugs, they’ll go through a background check and they’ll 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 he’s 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.
