THIS MONTH...

This month our speaker will be ISRA Member Mike Jones. Mike will be speaking about hunting and safety, first aid, getting lost, lighting a fire, and basic survival skills. As always, we invite you to bring a friend.

Will County ISRA member, Edward Kosteck Jr., was the name drawn for the WCGR Gun Giveaway last month. Unfortunately, Edward was not present so another name will be drawn at the next meeting. Remember, the winner must be present, have a valid FOID and comply with all local, state and federal laws.

 

 

Hypothermia - There is a chill in the air tonight. The weatherman promises that the jet stream is pushing south into our neck of the woods and the temperature will drop to below freezing. How many times have we all heard that and not paid much attention to the warnings? At least we have the information to take action and prepare for the predicted weather. Regardless of what Mother Nature throws at us, there is a need to protect ourselves from the heat and the cold. more

 

Chairman's Comments - The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest award that can be bestowed upon a person in the military. It is awarded for acts of extreme valor, actions way above and beyond the call of duty. Unfortunately, all too often, it is given posthumously to the recipient; the person lost their own life saving their fellow soldiers from grave danger.  An example of this would be a soldier jumping on a grenade, sacrificing his own life, knowing he would perish in order to save his “buddies.” more

 

  At our October Will County Grassroots meeting, we heard from Gary Gross about the “Use of Force” defense. This type of defense is more about the use of physical interaction with an opponent rather than the use of firearms. Gary is a certified Use of Force Instructor Trainer, a firearms instructor and trains in firearm retention and disarming as well. He is certified to train law enforcement personnel as well as civilians.  His contact information is as follows:
