We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
For only about the third time in 25 years, Guns Save Life cancelled a meeting at the last minute. This time, at the January 2018 GSL Peoria meeting, our host site closed because of a water main break. The parking lot had a lot of ice on it and disaster remediation…
