EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE <br />
On Wednesday we saw what can be best described as a “Horse and Pony Show” in the gun rights debate on the Illinois House of Representatives floor. These debates truly define who are our friends and our enemies. Representatives Bost, Brauer, DeLuca, Costello, Franks, David Harris, Ives, Kay, Phelps, Reis, and Sacia and maybe some others I missed truly stood up for our Second Amendment rights in Illinois. We owe them for their efforts.<br />
<br />
On the attack against our rights, and espousing the Chicago line, we were Cassidy, Will Davis, Feigenholtz, Sims and Zalewski. It is good to remember these names also. They say they support the Second Amendment and then do whatever they can to undermine it. These people claim they are only after gang bangers and other criminals but the fact is there targets are really law abiding gun owners-you and me! The laws they are trying to pass will mean nothing to the criminals. This fight is far from over so we must all be aware what is going on and who is doing what.<br />
<br />
I urge you to join the Illinois Sate Rifle Association if you are not a member and recruit a new member if you are a member now. Starting today I want you to call you State Legislators and tell them you want no gun bans and you want a shall issue CCW bill. <br />

Members take note:<br />
Many legislators, including freshmen, are returning to their districts with Town Hall Meetings. It is important to attend these to make your views on your gun rights known, especially if you live in a liberal or urban district. Please visit your legislators' district offices and find out when meetings are occurring in your area. If you send meeting info to the ISRA Hotline ([email="hotline@isra.org"]mailto:hotline@isra.org[/email]) we can inform other people that live in your district. <br />

300 Yard Rage: Temporary Closure!
<br /><br />
<br />
16 February, 2013: Until Further Notice, Please Note:<br />
The 300 yard range will be temporarily closed for the next three weeks due to the baffle construction being done. When the construction crew is not working their crane as well as other equipment may or may not be in the way. That call would need to be determined by the RSO presently working that day. The 200 yard line at the high power range may still be utilized being that the work is performed at the 300 yard line.<br />
<br />
The 100yd, 100m, and pistol ranges are not impacted by this activity.<br />
Thank you for your consideration during this temporary inconvenience.

Members take note:<br />
Many legislators, including freshmen, are returning to their districts with Town Hall Meetings. It is important to attend these to make your views on your gun rights known, especially if you live in a liberal or urban district. Please visit your legislators' district offices and find out when meetings are occurring in your area. If you send meeting info to the ISRA Hotline ([email="hotline@isra.org"]mailto:hotline@isra.org[/email]) we can inform other people that live in your district. <br />
