Northwest Chicagoland Meeting Canceled — See You in October Guns Save Life regrets to announce that our September 9th Northwest Chicagoland meeting is canceled. Our venue has another event that night, and we could not make the date work. That is the only thing canceled. We will be back in…

Sunday morning, July 5, 2026, started like any other at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Effingham: volunteers arriving, doors opening, ordinary work before worship. Then a man in a stolen car walked in and asked for the pastor. Church security did not treat that request as automatically holy. They noticed…

Lookie what landed in the inbox before coffee: a cease-and-desist. Number 25 in thirty-some years of telling the truth in public. I must be slacking. I stacked 18 of these in the first ten years of helping run the GSL site alone. The old ones came from real firms with…

Last month in GunNews, you covered emergency preparations for storm season as part of one of your speakers at a meeting. Well, Mother Nature delivered a serious test last Thursday [June 11]. A major storm system ripped through my region of the state and others, spawning multiple tornadoes—including some that…

Despite the efforts of some politicians and judges, it belongs to all Americans, regardless of their zip code or political beliefs. At the same time this doesn't mean every group automatically earns a seat at the table…

Armed citizens should exercise extreme reticence before inserting themselves into conflicts involving third parties, including active deadly force incidents involving police and criminals.
