Gun ownership is a right, Baumer says
http://westcooknews.com/stories/5110...ht-baumer-says
Katy Dolan Baumer, Republican candidate for the 44th state district House seat, said the actions of criminals does not mean law-abiding citizens should lose their gun rights.
Rather, she said it makes it more important to protect the rights of law-abiding citizens.
“Criminals will always get guns,” Baumer told the West Cook News. “No matter how many controls they put on guns, gun sales or transfers or the power of the gun, criminals, the bad element, will always get a gun.”
Nationally, the presidential election has cast a lot of attention on the Second Amendment and Baumer said she is firmly against adding more gun regulations.
“The only thing they are doing is making it harder for law-abiding citizens to hold and obtain weapons,” Baumer said. “It is our right to hold and obtain weapons and it's our right to protect our homes.”

"I'm not against the reasonable use of firearms," he said. "I don't object to hunters having firearms. I'm also not against people having a pistol by the side of their bed. I object to people walking around with a loaded gun in their pocket."

Hi guys, I haven't posted much in this thread, but as a member of the Illinois State Rifle Association, I received the notice that is included on the webpage below. Basically, the state house of representatives is starting to discuss a bill that will require all ammo in Illinois to carry individual serial numbers. The end result of this will be a huge increase in the cost of ammo and it will eliminate our ability to buy ammo from out of state vendors. The link below has more info. Please file a witness slip using the instructions in the link. I know some are probably hesitant to click on the link, but it just takes you to "Call to Action" from the Illinois State Rifle Association.

You bet, saw it in my inbox last night and just thought I would throw it out there. I guess our all knowing state legislators are feeling their oats after the election. Hope we can put a lid on them before they push this through.

ACTION ALERT - Deerfield Area Members: Stand in defiance of the Bloomberg-funded attempt to block the opening of the new Portillo's Restaurant in Deerfield on Tuesday November 15
Bloomberg's puppets are at it again, fresh from acting in a mob fashion in neighboring Glencoe, this group seeks to shutter any store that doesn't run things "their way", that is, with a no-guns sign in the window.
They have found another business to target, this week, picking on the new Portillo's Restaurant set to open in Deerfield on Tuesday morning.
Portillo's locations don't post "no-guns" signs in locations in Illinois, and like the rest of the Illinois, there are no negative incidents involving Illinois CCL holders.
Please stop by and show this group of clowns that they can't bully business owners,
please drop by for Portillo's grand opening and sample their wares, if you can. You might meet some of your ISRA members from the area who will be there.

Shooting range proposed for site near Naperville
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburb...123-story.html
Preliminary plans have been proposed for an indoor shooting range and gun shop in Warrenville, just across the street from Naperville on Ferry Road.
Naperville resident Dan Eldridge already owns the Maxon Shooter's Supplies and Indoor Range in Des Plaines. Building a second location in Warrenville was a necessity because he needs more classroom space, he said, but it will also fill a void for this type of business in the western suburbs.
"This would allow us to grow in an underserved area in Chicagoland," Eldridge said.

Our fine state representatives are at it again. The bill that they are trying to cram through that will require all ammo to have serial numbers is on the move. Please go to the webpage below and follow the Illinois State Rifle Associations instructions on how to file a witness slip. Call your State Representative as well. They may start debating this as early as tomorrow so time is of the essence.

SB-206, which would permit you to own suppressors in Illinois, was voted out of committee and onto the floor of the Illinois Senate yesterday. If it passes a floor vote, it will go to Gov. Rauner, and we will have suppressors in Illinois.
Please call your Senator's office in support of SB-206. You can find your Senator at this link http://il--nea.capwiz.com/nea/il/dir...e=IL&lvl=state
It would also be helpful to contact Senator Laura Murphy's office district office (847) 656-5414 and in Springfield (217) 782-3875. She represents the 28th District, which is where the shop is located. If you do call, please tell the person from her office that you're a Maxon customer.
Suppressors really could clear the last hurdle in Illinois today!
