the shot heard around the world was the one that killed Cpt Isaac Davis of the Acton Minutemen.

Acton has been leading the way ever since...

Isaac Davis’ Minuteman company was the epitome of “well regulated” and well equipped by him, a master gunsmith. I have no doubt that was on the minds when the Second amendment was written.

Imagine if General Washington had Capt. Davis available to help him organize and train the assembled militia at Cambridge. Instead, he had to wait for Von Steuben to accomplish the same. A fateful shot indeed.

Back in the day as a Boy Scout, we walked the Isaac Davis Trail on one such anniversary. Of course, we were more impressed with the Guardsman marching with us with his ma deuce.
