[caption id="attachment_31809" align="alignnone" width="770"] Image courtesy Springfield Armory.[/caption] I regularly advise people to avoid Chicago when possible. It's simply not safe there.

BRUEN! SCOTUS decision spells doom for IL FOID Act, gun & mag bans and many ‘prohibited locations’ for CCW
Gun owners won big with the Bruen decision at the US Supreme Court. The court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that the Second Amendment effectively means what it says, and that any effort to restrict it must follow commonplace contemporary laws of the 18th and 19th centuries. Clarence Thomas wrote…

LET’S SHOW UP: Naperville Considers Ban on transfers of America’s Favorite Rifle & Other Semi-autos, along with standard cap magazines… Meeting Tuesday. PLEASE ATTEND!
DRAFT_Assault_Weapon_Sales_Ban_Ordinance_-_July_13_2022 Gun control disarms victims, not criminals. And gun free zones only apply to the law-abiding among us. Yet, despite those simple truths, a virtue-signaling contingent among the City of Naperville leadership wants to "do something" following the Highland Park massacre.
