Salute To Nick Provenzano Thursday, September 18th 5pm – 7:30pm


As Chairman of the Law & Justice Committee of the McHenry County Board, Nick Provenzano has led the fight in support of the 2nd Amendment and gun owner’s rights. His recent leadership to introduce the Pro 2nd Amendment Resolution led to a unanimous vote of support by all 24 county board members of our gun owners rights. Nick’s leadership came at a difficult time in Northern Illinois and came prior to the Supreme Court ruling upholding 2nd Amendment rights to individual citizens. Nick stood up to Chicago politicians and the Governor at a time when it wasn’t politically correct.

Now Nick needs our help as he faces an Anti-gun Democrat challenger for his County Board seat in the fall election. This opponent will surely use Nick’s defense of 2nd Amendment Rights as a tool to rally the Anti-gun radicals to defeat Nick in November. We can’t let that happen and now is our time to come together to help Nick’s campaign.

Please join with the Sportsman’s Association at a fundraising dinner on Nick’s behalf on September 18.

Dynamic Motion and Self Defense Shootings

While at the Team Spartan course last month, John Krupa and Vince Jamison touched on the concept of "Dynamic Motion" in self defense and pointed to a body of research being conducted by Prof. Bill Lewinsky at Minnesota State University. I bring this up because a lot of people have been griping due to the recent Texas/Joe Horn incident - where he is alleged to have shot the two robbers in the back.

Lewinsky's research shows that, often during imment attack, the bodies "startle-flinch" response will contort the "targets" position in such away that a "front-to-back" entry of the projectile is not possible. His research vindicated two British Officers. (Excellent article, by the way - the animations are very interesting.)

This is similar to what Tony Blauer has been advocating for a while - he focuses his "martial response" system along development of mind immediately (MOV file, 44MB) after the "startle-flinch" response.
