SycamoreRuger Posted July 6, 2019 at 06:29 PM Share Posted July 6, 2019 at 06:29 PM I stopped by for about an hour. The safety event was indoors but I didn’t go in. I stood outside and talked to three local 2A supporters for a while and hardly anyone went in or out of the building. One of the 2A guys went inside earlier and said it was very slow inside. There was a local TV guy there, he came out of the building with his camera and got in his car without talking to us. One of the Moms in a red MDA shirt stopped and chatted for a few minutes. She was pleasant and said she is pro-2A and a gun owner, but that she is just concerned about keeping guns away from children. Maybe she doesn’t know their full agenda, I’m not sure.

She suggests storing ammo separate from the firearm, because you can have the gun ready in 30 SECONDS in an emergency. Its also clear that she is the southern IL MDA lead.

domin8 Posted July 7, 2019 at 06:59 AM Share Posted July 7, 2019 at 06:59 AM That's all it takes to get them going. I'd like to see the Army become informed regarding how they're being manipulated for political gain. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more of a rally. I'm talking about pro-2nd amendment training classes and safety outreach. There used to be .22 ranges in the basements of several public schools in the city. There's no reason that can't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RECarry Posted July 8, 2019 at 03:33 PM Share Posted July 8, 2019 at 03:33 PM Could we pass a bill that requires anyone turning in a gun have a safety course? For the children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither they, nor the state's attorney were apparently invited...hmmmm, I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
