We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
A pack of internet grifters is running ads targeting Illinois gun owners right now, suggesting an Illinois CCL will let you carry in all 50 states, that the entire process can be finished online in 15 minutes, and that you’ll have a “permit” in days. Sites like preparedamerican.org wave free…
Meet Francisco Nanez. Immigration status unknown. What is known is that Chicago’s woke City Council handed $8 million in pure taxpayer cash to a would-be child molester while the bastard was already sitting in jail for trying to meet a 13-year-old for sex. Francisco Nanez, the recipient of this grotesque…
Here's the legalese version from our attorneys... Cert Petition v. Notice of Appeal: With the adverse Seventh Circuit decision now final, the next step is to ask the Supreme Court to review the case by filing a petition for a writ of certiorari. There is no notice of appeal that…
Good news first: We’ve raised a substantial portion of the funding required for our two Amicus Curiae briefs supporting Viramontes v. Cook County at the U.S. Supreme Court.

State Representative Carol Ammons (D-Urbana), the Bernie Sanders-endorsed Democrat Socialist and rabid gun-grabber who co-sponsored PICA — Illinois’ unconstitutional assault weapons and magazine ban — has been indicted by a federal grand jury along with her husband, Champaign County Clerk Aaron Ammons. Along with their daughter Tatianna. While Ammons loudly…
