Executive Directors Message
Cicero is in Cook County. Cook County has 89,779 Illinois Concealed Carry Licensees and 598,205 FOID card holders, as of last week. The Gun Rights Policy Conference will be held this Saturday and Sunday, September 22 and 23, at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, Illinois. It is the best place to get a crash course in what is going on in the gun world. If you can possibly make it, it is worth the effort and then some. I hope to see you there. The Midterms are getting closer and for gun owners across Illinois and the country, everything is on the line. If we lose this election, it will be because gun owners didn’t vote. All gun owners should vote early; early voting starts September 27, 2018. Vote like a gun owner. Nationally, both the House of Representatives and the Senate are hanging in the balance. The left wingers are rolling out their big artillery, Obama, Biden, and the late Hillary Clinton. Of course, they have major support from their camp followers, the lame stream media and Hollywood. They all claim that “Our democracy is in danger!” The actual translation of those words means that if they don’t win the House and Senate, government of the elite, by the elite and for the elite will perish. Please, please gun owners, get out there and vote. This is one funeral I would love to attend! The Confirmation Hearings for Judge Brett Kavanaugh have taken a new turn because of the recent sexual assault charges brought by California psychologist Christine Blasey Ford. The purpose of the disgusting “Hail Mary Pass” was to derail or at least slow down the Confirmation Hearings. The Democrats’ hope is to delay the hearings until after the Midterm Elections. The best thing would be to push Judge Kavanaugh’s Confirmation through. This whole allegation smells not like a rat but a boat load of rats. As of today, 42 counties have now passed a Gun Sanctuary County Resolution. A big thanks to our friends at Gun Rights Watch for keeping track of all the progress Illinois has made on the Sanctuary County movement. If your county is considering a resolution, please contact your county board to support it! Thanks for being a member.
