YOUR VACATION SCHEDULE FOR 2015 IS DUE SHORTLY.

Remember to circle March 18 for the IGOLD Rally next year.

We may have a CCW law on the books BUT it needs many improvements.

Sadly we lost Otis but we must stand up and be counted this year in his memory.

How many folks here will join me remembering friend Otis and tell Springfield "WE HAVE JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT".

With this kind of response everyone can now understand why Illinois was the very last state to get CCW

And even then it took a court order.

O.k. I'll step up, who was Otis...yep I'm one of those who lives far enough away from Windy City to enjoy the fresh air and close enough "when" she burns again I'm having roasted wienies. Seriously I'm active but not politically enough to follow, just noticed your "location" on your profile; says a lot about our Politicians and I do vote...for least Evil one.

The only problem with IL is Chicago and you will eliminate the Politics that took us this long to get where we are at, I feel for them...

Otis McDonald was a great American; I wish I could have bought him dinner and visited with him.

I was privileged to know and spend hours with a TRUE American hero that EVERY kid in the inner city should not only hear about but model his life after.

Born of sharecropper parents he joined the Army and served OUR country.

Then he used the G I BILL to help get a college education.

After that you could wright a book on his achievements.

Yes even a poor bare footed southern black kid still can accomplish great things if they want to.

Rest in peace my friend and I will give Coleen a big hug AGAIN in March.

EVERY gun owner in Illinois should attend IGOLD this year.

There will be many busses leaving from most large cities for a round trip to Springfield and the cost is generally less than even a parking fee.

All of the servants in Illinois live either in Chiraq or Rockford.

All of the rest of MY state hates them.

It isn't just the rest of your state that hates them.

By the way, which former governor made your liscence plates this year?

Bloggo will be making my plates for about 14 more years or so.

Waiting to see if the one that took his place will join the long list of governors that ENJOYED the grey bar motel after leaving office.

I'd love to see Madigan & his ugly #$%^& daughter Lisa in jail along with Bloggo.
Come to think of it the Mayor of Chicago & the police chief would be a nice addition to it also.

Young black kids need more role models like Otis McDonald. If it wasn't for BWB I would have never heard of this great American.

Bill,
Not sure I can make the Rally, but truly enjoyed this education and will be passing it on!!! Even if March was open and I was with others whom I share the same passion, not sure I could deal with seeing a particular Representative, one who I grew up with, attended school with and still live and see his father frequently. I would need bail money LOL

Thank you for the reminder BWB. Will do my best to attend this year. Trying to get some of my shooting friends, around here, to go is like pulling wisdom teeth without gas.

I know just what you mean.

With 67 members now in "ILLINOIS CASTERS" just look at how few have responded.

There are probably many more C B members that live here but never admit it and seem to be perfectly happy to just sit back in their OLD rockingchair and let someone else carry the water for them.

We have a new governor without a lot of political strings attached that needs to hear our voices loud and clear.

Yes it may be cold and windy that day but I bet there will be a proud mom and her 4 youngsters marching the streets with us again this year.

If she and many others can spend just one day to let our voices be heard this site should be able to gather at least 30 of our members to join the good fight.

If some are not able to march down the street please remember there will be a parade marshal to help you board a free bus to take you from the convention center to the steps of the Capitol building.

Just say HI to that marshal (ME) as you board or leave the bus.

Lets keep on fighting the good fight.
