A Plea for Illinois Concealed Carry
http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...ncealed-carry/
GATS is by far my favorite gun shop in the suburbs of Chicago, great friendly folks without attitudes (unlike Cabelas) to deal with, and they always stock the most recently released new guns that are hard to get b/f anyone else has them, ask me how I know.

Also, they have the best variety of all guns to choose from and have GREAT customer service.

That 26 year old woman stating she wish she could Carry Conceal in the City is 100% accurate, she is a sitting duck target living, working and playing in the Lincoln Park area (one of these years this State (and primiarily Cook County) will have to stop taking away our second amendment rights.

Hmm, “more on display than anywhere in the USA”.

Have they seen MegaSports in Plainfield (that is also expanding)?

It's positive to see area gun shops expanding, or wanting to expand, GAT, MegaSports and Shore Galleries and two new shops/ranges opening, OnTarget and Gun World. Now I just need to find some time to go out to the range.

Default Here come the liberals................
They are voting on making 10 round mags illegal next week.

No doubt a knee jerk reaction by the liberal left in response to the very tragic Aurora Colorado Massacre.

We need all the support we can get guys, do whatever you can to try to stop this nonsense.
