By Mike Keleher The undead returned to Grand Island NE this June, defeating both biological plague and COVID. Hornady (headquartered in Grand Island) has long been the yearly sponsor of the Zombies in the Heartland three gun match but had to take last year off due to COVID 19. Something about Zombies being unable to maintain 6 feet of...

It is with a heavy heart that I must report that the NRA’s state affiliate in the Land of Lincoln negotiated a new bill to modernize the state’s much-hated Firearm Owner Identification Card Act. The Illinois State Rifle Association then went neutral on the newly-inserted gun control language, tacitly supporting HB562‘s passage while every other gun rights organization in...

“Restorative justice,” “affordable bail,” a bullet-riddled car and a dysfunctional justice system in Chicago all collided this weekend in Lori Lightfoot’s Murder City USA. It’s so complicated and messed up that I’m just going to let CWB Chicago (which should be among your daily reads online) explain. Again, from CWB Chicago: The driver of a bullet-riddled car that fled from...

The Illinois General Assembly adjourned this morning. In the past couple of days, Illinois gun owners dodged one bullet but we were savaged by two other bills. Kathleen Willis’ bill to mandate fingerprints for FOID cards passed the Illinois House. It failed to get a vote in the senate because the votes weren’t there for it. Instead, a competing...

Today, Memorial Day, marks the final day of the Illinois General Assembly spring session. All business will have to be completed by midnight tonight (MAY 31) or it’ll likely have to wait until the fall veto session for consideration and then passage will require 60% of chamber(s) voting. GOOD NEWS FIRST: You may have heard about Kathleen Willis HB-1091...

By Mike Keleher Well this is a bit of a powerful statement by the U.S. Supreme Court this week. In a rare decision that is decided unanimously, the judges put their combined foot down and declared a police confiscation of privately owned firearms in a residence to have been unconstitutional per the 4th Amendment to the Constitution. So it’s...

by Allen Ball Self-defense is one of the most important factors in many gun owners’ decision to purchase and train with a firearm, and while it is a scenario that every shooter hopes they will never have to encounter, it is also true that home invasions, robberies, and other crimes are impossible to predict—which is why it is vitally...

Today we learned the identity of the spree killer in Boulder, Colorado. Police say they have arrested Ahmad Al Aliwi Al-Issa, 21 for multiple counts of murder. Heavy.com reports he was born in Syria and came to the US as a child. He also was a very faithful practitioner of Islam. Perhaps for the first time, thanks to a...

(GSL) – At GSL, we hear a wide range of perspectives from gun industry insiders. Some have shared some of their observations in the past few weeks with our members at meetings and to GunNews. You already knew ammo was scarce, but you may not have known about the price hikes and how those who have ammo secured it....

If you didn’t already realize it, if you don’t continue to shoot over time, you will slowly lose your shooting skills. With ammunition so expensive and hard to come by, making every shot count now has a whole new meaning. How do you maintain your skill sets without burning through a lot of ammunition? Simple: take your time and...

Mark Twain once famously noted that the only certainties in life are death and taxes. We’re all going to die someday, some of us a little sooner than others. Which is why it is important to prepare ahead of that eventuality by helping your loved ones identify and value your firearms collection. Like all of us, I know a...
