We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
The ACLU's policy director Ed Yohnka claims that all these settlements the City of Chicago is paying out in police-related lawsuits demands immediate action. We concur.

At Guns Save Life, we love Valentine's Day. And what better to go with Valentine's Day than a little humor. Love is the answer—but you ought to own a handgun just in case. Happy Valentine’s Day, Louisiana! pic.twitter.com/mvveYCjiNO — John Neely Kennedy (@JohnKennedyLA) February 14, 2025 Here’s hoping your…
As Americans, we have the right to use deadly force when faced with an imminent, credible threat of death or great bodily harm. Yes, Virginia, this even applies in deep blue jurisdictions with Team Soros prosecutors who are openly antagonistic to gun owners and the right to armed self-defense. Fortunately,…
US Law Shield’s Illinois program attorney Michael Johnson addressed a full house in Pontiac on the Justifiable Use of Deadly Force. It proved educational, especially for those with little or no good formal training. It’s one thing to read the law. It’s another thing to know how the courts interpret…
Wait, what? John Boch speaking at an ISRA chapter meeting? It's true. The Illinois State Rifle Association has launched a new grassroots chapter in Streator, IL. It's headed up by a couple of ladies from our GSL LaSalle County steering committee. They're bringing some of that same energy and excitement…

If you're a decent driver in Chicago, not only do you have to negotiate Olympic-level potholes and endless construction, but thanks to No Cash Bail, you have to deal with road-raging drivers who shoot at the objects of their ire. Take the two fine gents pictured above, Maurice Jones, left,…
by John Boch In addition to countless calls trying to sign me up for Medicare insurance, and burial insurance and all the rest of the spam calls that make my phone almost unusable for voice calls, I get calls from gun owners with questions about legalities of the law when…
There's a new dawn in America. Where merit matters, not the color of your skin or the color of the spray paint in your hair. While the Superbowl got off to a rough start with that utterly disastrous rendition of the National Anthem, things certainly improved for Eagles fans. But…
Unbelievably Mayor "Let's Go Brandon" Johnson's legal team "negotiated" a $1.25M settlement with the family of a would-be cop killer. Dexter Reed pulled out his gun instead of his license (assuming he had a valid driver's license) and blasted away at Chicago cops who pulled him over. The boys in…
