Sangamon County GSL is back at SCHEELS on October 5 Ignore the meeting box in the October GunNews. The Air Combat Museum listing for October, November, and December was a typo. That venue was September only, after SCHEELS closed early for Labor Day. Sangamon County Guns Save Life is back…
OCT GUNNEWS AVAILABLE: Post Office carry, Local home invasion, and ‘I’ll figure it out’ is a refugee’s plan…
Pretending evil does not exist has no survival value. Neither does the shuffle through life on “I’ll figure it out” and “I’ll make do.” That is a refugee’s mindset. The people who stay housed, fed, and together when the lights die or the door gets kicked are the ones who…

Illinois Times ‘alternative’ newspaper is floundering in radical left positions, including attacking gun rights
Go woke, go broke. Some people figure it out the first time. Others? Their family trees look more like wreaths. The Illinois Times is a Springfield chapel that mistook an "alternative" weekly for a moral superpower. Because, of course, the already lefty mainstream media that few trust isn't quite woke…
