Our Decatur Regional Director Dave Randolph called the first GSL meeting in months to order at Coz’s Pizza in Decatur. We had a good crowd of fifty (cough cough, don’t want to violate the governor’s arbitrary orders). Following the Pledge and recognition of veterans and first responders, John Boch offered his Executive Director’s Report....

![NEUTERED POLICE: Armed ‘protesters’ In Lansing, MI obstruct traffic, point guns at motorists [VIDEO]](https://www.gunssavelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/BLM-with-guns-2.jpg)
We’ve seen enough of neutered police across America as rioters and looters have rampaged with virtual impunity of late. But this one in Lansing, MI might take the cake. An armed former prison inmate led a “peaceful protest” in recent days for “civil rights.” In reality, the “Free People of Lansing” obstructed traffic and...

![FEDS: Angry Leftist brings rifle to Lubbock George Floyd protest to ‘Off racists and MAGA people’ [VIDEO]](https://www.gunssavelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/MAGA-hater-1.jpg)
A “peaceful” George Floyd protest rally nearly turned into a bloodbath as a radical leftist brought a rifle. While open carrying a rifle in Texas remains perfectly legal, brandishing it to “off racists and MAGA people” is not. Cops initially arrested 25-year-old Emmanuel Quinones Saturday after he brandished his AR-15 rifle at a rally...

Staggering. That describes the crush of people applying to become gun owners via the Land of Lincoln’s FOID card scheme. Over 42,000 in 17 days, to give folks a better idea of the raw numbers. That’s even more than the number of people leaving this state in that time! The Chicago Tribune posted an...

“Defund the police” has been one of the Left’s rallying cries of late. More and more, cops have embraced the “stay fetal” method of law enforcement. America needs to look no further than Chicago to see what less effective and less aggressive policing looks like in practice. Over the Father’s Day weekend, Chicago’s gang...

In today’s world, the semi-auto pistol reigns supreme. Seems people today often turn their noses up at small-frame revolvers. Make no mistake, though, small-frame revolvers still have their place in deep cover applications. Especially in non-permissive environments, for those who choose to carry anyway. Sure, some will no doubt scoff at the idea of...

Sorry for the delay in posting. Our hosting provider has thrown us some curve balls and I couldn’t log in. Obviously, that’s now fixed (partially, at least).

Leave it to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker to put the final nail in the coffin of the “World Shooting Complex” in Sparta, Illinois. Pritzker and his (political) science-based Chi-com flu restrictions have driven the Grand American across the border to Missouri, where that state’s governor has welcomed the massive trapshooting championships and the money...
