We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
by Damon Williams GSL Member (GSL) - I know I’m preaching to the choir, but the idiocy of the Protect Illinois Communities Act still angers me. In a world where guns like America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15, protect families and children, PICA has encumbered our right to protect our families.…
