I'd like to solicit feedback, suggestions, editing, etc for a new advocacy/education site for Right To Carry (RTC) in IL:
http://ArmIllinois.com/
There's still a lot of room for more information on the site, so writing contributions would be warmly welcomed as well.
The goal is to educate people, make them more comfortable with (if not outright supportive of) RTC, and hopefully get them to help spread the word and get people talking about RTC in IL.
Target audience is ... well, everyone in IL ... but most importantly those people on-the-fence regarding 2A issues, or those anti-gun but without a strong conviction. I want to take this outside the walls of firearms enthusiasts, we have enough preaching to the choir.
The premise is this (grabbing from another of my posts earlier today):
1) Many people, especially in the Chicago area, have a gut-reaction against guns but it's not based on anything other than what they've been fed by the media and Chicago machine.
2) These people can educated to understand that "guns" are a scapegoat, and not the real problem.
3) Nothing is going to change in this state until the people in and around Chicago stop for a moment, think for themselves (which is possible only after they're educated on the topic), and decide NOT TO parrot the "guns are evil" rhetoric they've been indoctrinated with.
p.s. Please sign the petition! Even if you don't live in IL, you might want to travel here, do business here, etc. The bigger that number gets, the better. People love to do what everyone else is doing As silly as it sounds, somebody on the fence is more likely to jump aboard if they see everyone else doing the same.
