We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
Join us tonight at Jamie's Outpost in Utica, IL for our LaSalle County GSL meeting. Our monthly drawing will be for a case of 1000 rounds of .223 FMJ ammo. How sweet is that? Last month, our main speaker John Anthony (pictured above), the former State Rep., former cop and now…
