Join us for the next ISRA Will County Grassroots meeting on Wednesday, November 19, at the Silver Dollar Restaurant in Elwood.

Doors open at 6:00 PM, and the meeting runs from 7:00 to 8:00 PM. Food will be available for purchase, so come early for dinner and good conversation with fellow Illinois gun owners.

This month’s featured speaker is Sheriff James Mendrick — a strong constitutional sheriff, a defender of law-abiding gun owners, and now a candidate for Governor of Illinois. Sheriff Mendrick has been a steady voice for public safety, responsible training, and the rights of ordinary citizens who follow the law.

He will share what he’s seeing on the ground across Illinois, what challenges lie ahead for lawful gun owners, and why standing firm for the Second Amendment matters now more than ever.

We’ll also cover current legislative threats, upcoming hearings, ISRA court updates, and ways you can stay active as Illinois continues to debate the future of self-defense and responsible ownership.
