Supporting gun ownership and sportsmen's rights in response to the flurry of anti-gun and sport legislation under consideration in Congress and the Illinois State Legislature.
(If you would like to include your organization or events on our calendar, please contact us and we'll accommodate you)
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.

Caleb, aka NRAhab, at "Call me Ahab" hosted gun bloggers Breda and Tracy on the lastest "Gun Nuts" podcast (just a fancy word for streaming audio)!
It is a very interesting look into the motivation on why these two women choose to carry, practice, etc.
Tracy blogs at http://www.planettracy.typepad.com/prettypistolera/ and has focused, it seems, a lot on USPSA/competitive shooting as a jumping off point.
Breda, whose fantastic artilces we've re-posted (with permission, of course!), blogs at http://thebredafallacy.blogspot.com/ . She overcame a significant lack of exposure to firearms to develop a stellar hobby and defensive interest.
