Charity MASF (Modern American Shooting & Firearms) Ends Its 6 1/2 Year Run

Monday, March 5th, 2018

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- After six years as a charity, Modern American Shooting & Firearms (MASF) is closing their doors.

MASF was a nonprofit educational organization (501.c3) located in Northern Virginia that had the goal of making gun education accessible to all people regardless of their financial situation and ability to pay. MASF believed that everyone has the right to defend themselves and their family, and purchasing a gun is only the first step. The second phase is seeking out a reputable trainer.

The group helped train people in the proper mindset of carrying a firearm along with gun safety and shooting skills by bringing in top trainers at little to no cost to the student.

They also worked to spread the value of the Second Amendment and gun ownership. MASF was a big proponent of carrying a firearm every day once adequately trained.

According to MASF President Baraka James, they are retiring the charity to focus time on a once weekly podcast that on the Firearms Radio Network called Civilian Carry Radio.

According to Baraka Ulrich James, he believes he can use this method to spread the message better as to what it means to be a gun owner as well as the Second Amendment, gun safety, and overall firearms education. The show tackles these issues from a civilian’s point of view.

Civilian Carry Radio – @CC_Radio2A – on the Firearms Radio Network. Our website is here via the Firearms Radio Network – firearmsradio.tv/civilian-carry-radio

This podcast focuses on the importance of the 2nd amendment, firearms safety, education, training and mindset.

Hosted by Baraka Ulrich James with co-hosts Allen Sams and Karie Thomas, sponsored competitive shooter.

Our goal is spreading the message to everyday people on the importance of the 2nd amendment and firearms education, mindset, safety and training.

One of the best ways to support the non-profit AmericanSnipers.org is to buy some swag. Every year, they come up with a new, innovative medallion and this year is no disappointment.

The reverse has a Lakota Sioux inscription which translates to, “shoot the enemy in the face.” Additionally, on either side, the head dress bears the Army and Marine Corps Sniper symbols.

This thing has got some heft to it and features a channel down the middle to run a cord through it.

Make sure you stop by if you’re at the show and pick something up.

Congratulations to Mike C from Missouri for Winning the SSD/SOC-F Rifle Raffle

Monday, December 18th, 2017

First off, I want to personally thank everyone who purchased raffle tickets for the SSD custom carbine. While Mike C of the great state of Missouri won the raffle, the real winners are four families who lost their husbands, fathers and sons. Your efforts raised $16,000 for those families.

While the raffle was hosted by our friends at the Special Operations Care Fund charity, the funds will be distributed to the beneficiaries by the Duskin-Stephens Foundation. Those beneficiaries are the families of four Soldiers, deployed to the African nation of Niger and assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), who were recently killed during a brutal gun battle with Muslim extremists. These four men…


SSG Bryan C. Black, SSG Jeremiah W. Johnson, SSG Dustin M. Wright, and SGT La David T. Johnson, you are not forgotten.

No one except the raffle host is taking a Dollar for doing this. Ultimately, we expect to pass around $15,500, equally distributed to those for families.

Once again, thanks to our friends at SOC-F and Duskin-Stephens Foundation. Richard King also donated his skills to produce the images we used. But ultimately, none of this would have been possible with out the generous donation of the custom ADM UIC MOD2 carbine by American Defense MFG and optic by Aimpoint!
