Gasoline is freedom/liquid gold

EVIL EXISTS: He shot the mother. The toddler died in the fire. Meet Jeremiah Duncan.
Evil does not file a FOID application. It does not sit through a 16-hour class. It shows up before dawn, and it leaves a 20-year-old woman full of bullets and a 2-year-old boy dead in a burning car. That is what Peoria County woke up to on Friday, September 25.…
Are you preparing for the wrong things?

Conservation Police Officer Noah Workman rolled into the Decatur Guns Save Life meeting like a man who grew up in DeWitt County, now works DeWitt County for IDNR, and relocates mailboxes at speed while running blacked-out after spotlighters.
