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.

Friday's Rally

There has been little coverage of Friday's pro-civil rights/Second Amendment rally. NPR and WJBC picked up a bit, ABC a blurb.

Hundreds of people gathered at a pro-gun rally in Chicago Friday. The Illinois State Rifle Association sponsored the event, which celebrated the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down a handgun ban in Washington, D.C.

Mike Weisman, first vice president, Illinois State Rifle Association, says his group is looking to overturn the handgun bans in Chicago, Evanston, Oak Park and Winnetka, and are lobbying for the right carry a gun in the state
