IGOLD '11 Reception
After a long day of liveblogging, tweeting, FB'ing and being the download hub for several photographers, running ahead of the march, and meeting w/ legislators, I got to settle down at the after reception.
Sitting, joking and talking for several hours w/ 3 out of the 4 McDonald v Chicago litigants. My friends David and Colleen Lawson as well as the namesake of the case, Otis McDonald.
The PuSH'ers and PEG heads have nothing to compare.

IGOLD 2011 Tomorrow
Tomorrow thousands of firearm owners from across the state are going to join together in Springfield, Illinois, the state capitol, to demand from our legislators our right to protect ourselves. For years, they've ignored us. Several times they've acted like complete cowards, killing a bill we wanted and then literally running out the back doors as we marched up the street.
This year CCW and multiple other pro-rights bills are showing momentum on the floors. And again we're going to swarm the capitol buildings, telling them what we think. What we demand.
And it's past time they started listening.
If you can't be there. Make your calls. Send your letters and e-mails. Hit the ranges and shops and support them. Tell your friends. Sign someone up for the ISRA, NRA, SAF or whatever group you prefer. Take a friend to go shooting. All of this together and we will succeed. We have the numbers. We have the will and we have the drive.
The anti-gun groups don't even try to counter-protest because they can't garner even a fraction of the numbers we can. The best they can do is home the 'Authorized Journalists' ignore us but we don't really need them anymore as their media slowly decays.
I'll be live blogging the event and the ISRA will be publishing updates on Facebook and their Twitter feed.
Join us w/ our rallying cry. CONCEALED CARRY NOW!!!!!
