Decent gun show at DuPage County this past week, but ammo is REALLY getting scarce. Can't even buy .22 long rifle anymore! Bob (Quicksilver), thanks for the heads-up on the gun show.

I guess the Kane County Gun Show is this Sunday!

URGENT ALERT – YOUR ACTION REQUIRED

GUN CONTROLLERS ARE ON THE MOVE IN THE NORTHERN SUBURBS


WHAT: Village Council Meeting to Consider Gun Bans, Licensing, and Registration

WHERE: Northbrook Village Hall, 1225 Cedar Ln, Northbrook, IL 60062

WHEN: Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 7:30 PM
(plan to be there by 6:45 so you can get a seat)

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT:

North suburban gun control groups are trying to establish a foothold to implement their plans to ban your guns, register you like a sex offender, and otherwise infringe upon your 2^nd Amendment rights. These people must be stopped or their efforts will grow like an epidemic. The northern suburbs are fertile ground for the gun grabbers, it is up to law-abiding gun owners from across Illinois to nip these gun control plans in the bud. THIS IS NOT JUST A NORTHBROOK PROBLEM – IT IS A PROBLEM FOR EVERY ILLINOIS FIREARM OWNER!

We need as many lawful firearm owners at this event as possible. Remember to be at the site by 6:45 PM so that the gun controllers cannot pull their old trick of closing the doors early so as to deny you your right to speak in defense of our Constitution.

Be sure to wear NRA, ISRA or IGOLD shirts and hats – we want to fill the room with a see of gold.

If you have a smart phone, be sure to record what goes on at the hearings.

Remember to be polite, but assertive when defending your rights. Seek out members of the press and tell them you are a law abiding firearm owner and that you are sick and tired of being made a scapegoat for criminals and the unsupervised mentally ill.

Please distribute this alert to your friends and family.

Please post this alert to any and all internet bulletin boards or blogs to which you belong.

Remember: Gun control is a disease, and you are the cure.

From Facebook:

On Target Range and Tactical Training Center
We have 9mm ammo for take out!

Just received a shipment of Fiocchi 9mm 115gr. FMJ (50 rounds per box).
In order to offer everyone the opportunity to purchase 9mm ammo, we have implemented some limitations to purchase quantities.
OnTarget members are allowed to purchase TWO boxes per visit.
Non-members are allowed to purchase ONE box per visit.
The Fiocchi ammo is priced at $14.99/box.

But they would have to stop texting/facebooking long enough to use it!

Maybe if people could look up from their smart phone for one second each minute they could see trouble coming?

URGENT ALERT – YOUR ACTION REQUIRED

WILL COUNTY BOARD TO CONSIDER PRO-CONCEALED CARRY RESOLUTION


WHAT: The Legislative & Policy Committee of the Will County Board will be considering an ISRA drafted resolution supporting concealed carry.

WHEN: Monday, 11 February 2013, 8:30 AM (please be there by 8:00)

WHERE: Will County Office Building, County Board Committee Room, 2nd Floor (behind the County Board Office), 302 North Chicago Street, Joliet, IL

The committee will be debating and voting on this resolution in support of concealed carry. It’s very important that firearm owners pack the committee room since some committee members are not in favor of concealed carry. Be sure to wear IGOLD hats or t-shirts so that it’s clear where you stand.

Please pass this alert on to your friends and family.

Make sure that you post this alert to any and all Internet blogs or bulletin boards to which you belong.
