Staggering.   That describes the crush of people applying to become gun owners via the Land of Lincoln's FOID card scheme.  Over 42,000 in 17 days, to give folks a better idea of the raw numbers.  That's even more than the number of people leaving this state in that time! The…

"Defund the police" has been one of the Left's rallying cries of late. More and more, cops have embraced the "stay fetal" method of law enforcement. America needs to look no further than Chicago to see what less effective and less aggressive policing looks like in practice. Over the Father's…

In today's world, the semi-auto pistol reigns supreme. Seems people today often turn their noses up at small-frame revolvers. Make no mistake, though, small-frame revolvers still have their place in deep cover applications. Especially in non-permissive environments, for those who choose to carry anyway. Sure, some will no doubt scoff…

Sorry for the delay in posting.  Our hosting provider has thrown us some curve balls and I couldn't log in. Obviously, that's now fixed (partially, at least).

Leave it to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker to put the final nail in the coffin of the "World Shooting Complex" in Sparta, Illinois.  Pritzker and his (political) science-based Chi-com flu restrictions have driven the Grand American across the border to Missouri, where that state's governor has welcomed the massive trapshooting…

by John Boch GSL Executive Director Preface: I intended for this to be a video presentation this month.  Then the state-wide riots happened beginning on May 29th.  Including downstate two days later on the 31st.  More on the riots later, but suffice it to say things have been busy. Around…

Pity poor Joe Biden. Every day he's out in public he serves as the poster child for diminished mental capacity.  Add in some inappropriate touching of women and children, and you've got a day in the life of Beijing Joe. Earlier this week, he paused in a sympathetic Delaware church…

Murder City, USA lived up to its well-deserved nickname last weekend with 24 killed and scores more wounded.  Then earlier this week, Mayor Lightfoot acknowledged that a crush of 911 calls had overwhelmed both the 911 system and Chicago Police Department. But she also told her city's residents that, if…

A lot of people thought Barack Obama earned the title of America's best gun salesman. No more. Democrats, foaming at the mouth with chronic TDS, demanding more gun control and promising confiscations, along with a pandemic and, at the end of the month, nationwide rioting and looting, have caused gun…

Confrontations often provoke a lot of emotions.  In Maryland on June 2, a physically large man became angry at three young teens posting Black Lives Matter fliers.  He went off on them.  Then "Karen" grabbed at least one girl by the wrist to wrest away a stack of fliers and…
