IGOLD 2009

I'm going to be there. I was unable to go last year since I had already been gone from work for military duty and family obligations. This year I'll be meeting w/ ArmedSchoolteacher and LonghornJeff as representatives of the gun blogging community.

This year we have a chance to get CCW moved forward in Illinois. The new .Gov says he's opposed but 3000+ people outside his office might change his mind. That's the whole point.

More at ISRA and IllinoisCarry, Armed and Safe, and even more ISRA.

Make Your Voice Heard in Springfield on March 11! Please join your fellow Illinois gun owners for the annual Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day (IGOLD) on March 11, 2009, in Springfield! This is your opportunity to lobby your lawmakers directly and make a positive impact for all Illinois gun owners. Do not miss the largest gun rights rally and Second Amendment lobbying event in Illinois history! We need thousands of Illinois gun owners, hunters, sportsmen, and those who simply wish to defend their right to keep and bear arms to gather at the Prairie Capitol Convention Center. We will march down Capitol Avenue, rally on the Capitol steps, and then proceed inside to lobby legislators to make our presence known. There will be no mistaking that Illinois gun owners intend to stand up and speak out for our right to keep and bear arms in the state of Illinois! This will be one of the most important days of the year for Illinois gun owners! For more information on IGOLD 2009, to sign-up online, or for more information on scheduled bus routes, please visit http://igold.isra.org/, or call the Illinois State Rifle Association at (815) 635-3198.
