    Chicago Second Amendment Freedom Rally 2009

    Yes, we're doing it again! For the second year in a row, on June 26, 2009, Illinois gun owners will gather at the Thompson Building in Chicago (that's across the street from Mayor Daley's offices) to show that Chicago is not the anti-gun capital that people think. It's the Second Amendment...

    Do Us All a Favor and Phone These Legislators

    As you love me, dear friends . . . . as you love yourselves, your posterity, and your liberty, call these people and simply say "Please vote no on HB 48 and all other gun control in the House." It's coming up for a vote today or tomorrow, and it would eliminate private firearm sales in Illinois...

    First IPSC/USPSA Experience

    Finally, it was my turn. My nerves were jangling and the butterflies seemed to have attracted large, predatory birds to my stomach. "Do you have any questions?" I knew all I had to do was be silent. I shook my head anyway. "Make ready!" I took a mag from my pocket, drew my worn P220 (an old...

    Refinishing a scope?

    I have an old Weaver K1 that I'd like to use on a 700 a good friend sent me a few years ago. The Weaver came on a .22 copy of an AR-15 (a Jaeger AP74) and I knew I didn't want it on there, so I pulled it years ago. It was rusty then; it's rustier now. I'd call it light surface rust; there are...

    I Found a Golden Ticket!

    Just got off the phone with Kerby Smith at Para-USA. They want to pay for me to stay the weekend at Blackwater and take a shooting seminar with Todd Jarrett. http://thearmedschoolteacher.blogspot.com/2008/07/last-golden-ticket.html I told 'em yes. :D You may feel free to hate me now...

    I think we might have lost another anti-gun blogger

    Robyn Ringler took more than a week off to read the new Harry Potter, and she's not back yet. Honestly, I don't know if I blame her. Not everyone thrives on argument, and everything she posted got smacked around by people with facts to back up their points of view. She really had only one...

    Help identify this saber

    My dad bought a saber at the auction the other day for $60. Basically dad is the "knife expert" at the auction, which is a weekly small-town auction with a large set of regulars, of whom a few are the regular gun guys. They asked him what he thought, and he told them he thought it was a...

    www.housegun.com--Joke or genius?

    OK, shotgun experts, check this out and tell me if you're buying into the Next Big Thing. I'm not feeling this. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's somebody's idea of a joke: http://www.housegun.com/ The link is safe for work--basically, these guys claim to be manufacturing a...

    Police Chief's Letter to the Editor (IL)

  12. D

    IL Gov. Blagojevich already airing anti-gun attack ads for November.

    She won't be answering because she started with very little cash compared to him and spent a lot of it on the Republican primary. He had something like $15 million in the bank last time I heard.

    IL Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners accepts Daley's challenge to confront him

    In this thread, you can see the original reporting--basically, Hizzonor Daley said that after the recent shootings in Chicago, anyone who opposes the new assault weapons ban should come and see him personally to explain why. Well, DUH, Mr. Mayor--plenty of people would LOVE the chance to come...

    Chicago Defender reports on gun-toting aldermen!

    Pistol packin’ aldermen protected by the law by Faith Okpotor February 3, 2006 Many - perhaps most - Chicago aldermen have chosen not to exercise their statutory right to carry a weapon. Most, that is, except the fiery, hat-wearing alderman from the Third Ward. Dorothy Tillman startled those...

    Where has the Sharpmaker BEEN all my life?

    Mine arrived today, and now all my knives shave. I love it! Far better than the Lansky, now that I've tried both. Merry Christmas to me! If anyone is wondering whether it's worth the price, the answer is yes.

    Inexpensive holster for M29 6.5"?

    Any suggestions on a reasonable holster for a S&W Model 29 6.5"? I don't need something fancy--a simple belt holster is all I require, more to have it on hand than anything else. But I don't want to buy junk. No scope. No shoulder holsters, please--belt or paddle only. $100 or less...

    Remember, you don't need a gun, because you'll give the robber what he wants.

    This took place, unsurprisingly, in Chicago. Of course, a lot of places that have CCW now didn't have it in 1993. http://www.concealcarry.org/ FULL story at the Chicago Tribune: 1993 BROWN'S CHICKEN MASSACRE Video confession tells how robbery got out of control Juan Luna, one of two...

    IL State Senators call gun owners "sex offenders" and "gang bangers!"

    This has got me boiling. :fire: Notice also that fool Dillard, who thinks you can pay someone a compliment by saying "Well, she's no Annie Oakley, you know!" No sir, she certainly isn't, more's the pity. Annie Oakley is a legend, and I'd vote for her to replace your friend Radogno any...
