Tvandermyde Posted December 16, 2022 at 10:46 PM Share Posted December 16, 2022 at 10:46 PM I am recommending 3 groups these days Aurora sportsmen's club, FFL-IL the dealers group abd the Second Amendment law center who has the Duncan and rhode case amoung others. if you donace to SALC make a note that it is for Illinois litigation and they are setting aside funds raised by us for suits we control and want to see go forward. Aurora Sportsmen's Club 2A defense & education fund https://aurorasc.wufoo.com/forms/m1aqqf7i1cz9u8t FFL-IL donation page https://fflil.org/donate/ Second Amendment Law Center include a not for Illinois litigation https://secure.2alc.org/contribute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mab22 Posted December 21, 2022 at 02:23 PM Share Posted December 21, 2022 at 02:23 PM I would think that you would provide Illinois Carry some consideration as they do run this forum and the software and services are not free for them. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard is on their board of directors. I know SAF is affiliated with CCRKBA, kind of leery of donating to them. I am a member of CCRKBA and will not be renewing my membership in January due to that fact. What is everyone else's opinion on SAF? The mere presence of Richard Pearson on their board is not a good reason to dump CCRKBA/SAF. I'm sure Alan will not let Richard tank them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great idea. I will be contacting SAF and CCRKBA about my very clear thoughts on RP. His “leadership” has made me pause any donations to the ISRA and will have me reconsider my ongoing approach with SAF and CCRKBA vs other orgs. Illinoiscarry, the FPC, John Lott’s research, and others might benefit more. I have been a strong proponent of the SAF and CCRKBA in the past and would hate to have to change. Need to see if King Richard the Pontificator is having the same negative influence he has in IL with his non-strategic compromises and penchant to communicate more on thoughts unrelated to immediately advancing (or protecting) IL gun rights.

Many of us want a different playbook and are assembling good local counsel, they actually know what a semi-auto is and how it works having worked in the indistry, and some of the same heavy hitters that are winning cases in front of St Benitez.

Thanks BTW, the CCRKBA notes that Richard Pearson is on a 2 year board term with the possibility to extend. They need to hear from the people of IL what we think of his “leadership” at a minimum. Some nicely worded notes from this team might make sure that the good work and fundraising of the CCRKBA is not impacted with questionable board leadership.

Black Flag Posted January 6, 2023 at 01:55 PM Share Posted January 6, 2023 at 01:55 PM If someone wants to give Pearson a lifetime achievement award, then they should just do so, not give him another place to take up space that could be given to someone more dynamic.

Do you have good contact information to share? What the heck were they thinking? They must not have vetted him. Is this another paid position? He's always been about pocketing the money Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinois Carry Illinois Rifle Association Gun Owners Of America Firearms Policy Coalition Second Amendment Foundation I stopped donating to the NRA because I don't see them really doing anything other than soliciting donations, and often are not on the same page as the majority of us which I don't find helpful.
