Carry Safely News

In case you don't know, the Illinois House and Senate overwhelming passed HB0183. It will be sent to Governor Quinn to be signed. Illinois Concealed Carry has FINALLY arrived. As soon as we receive our Illinois CCW Instructor certification we will be starting Illinois Concealed Carry Classes. We will be offering the Illinois Concealed Carry classes 6 days a week and some nighttime classes also . The way the Bill reads you will be required to have 16 Hours of Training, BUT if you are a veteran your DD214 counts toward 8 hours as does also a Hunter Safety class. So you will only have to take our 8 Hour Illinois CCW Training Classes. Also if you have taken a Utah CCW Class that will count for 4 hours of the required training. We are in the process of issuing certificates for are former students stating that they have compleated that part of the Illinois Concealed Carry Training. Stay tuned ILLINOIS CONCEALED CARRY IS FINALLY COMING FOR THE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS OF ILLINOIS!

The Senator from Park Ridge at the end needs to learn what concealed means.

Then, before the suspect could find another victim - a citizen with a gun stopped the madness. "A guy pulled gun on him and told him to drop his weapon or he would shoot him. So, he dropped his weapon and the people from Smith's grabbed him."

By the time officers arrived the suspect had been subdued by employees and shoppers. Police had high praise for gun carrying man who ended the hysteria. Lt. Brian Purvis said, "This was a volatile situation that could have gotten worse. We can only assume from what we saw it could have gotten worse. He was definitely in the right place at the right time."

I just got this e-mail. Let me know what you all think.
American Hunters- The World's Largest Army
Some blogger came up with these stats. They added up the deer license sales in just a few States and came up with this.
In Wisconsin alone there were 600,000 hunters, making Wisconsin hunters  the 8th largest army in the world. Now add in 750,000 in Pennsylvania & 700,000 in Michigan & 250,000 in W. Virginia. Those 4 States alone would comprise the largest Army in the WORLD! Add in the 46 other States and it's Millions more.
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of Home-Grown firepower. Hunting, it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of National Security. That's why ALL enemies, both foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed. That's something to think about when someone talks about gun control. Even though we know that all hunters are not trained soldiers and don't possess the skills of our fighting men and women. The question is What Army of 2 million would want to face 30 or 40 or maybe 50 million ARMED AMERICAN CITIZENS. Tell that to Hillary Clinton and the U.N
