THIS MONTH...

ISRA member Al Tiscareno will be our speaker for April. Al will speak on the history of the framing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As always, we hope to see you there and don't forget to bring a friend!

Will County ISRA member, Jason D. Schulte of Peotone, was the name drawn for the WCGR Gun Giveaway last month. Unfortunately, Jason was not present, so he missed out on taking home the Mossberg 500 shotgun.  Remember, the winner must be present, have a valid FOID and comply with all local, state and federal firearm laws.

 

RESTORING THE SECOND AMENDMENT - The Supreme Court of the United States listened to arguments in District of Columbia v. Heller this past month.  What they decide in the next few months will support or counter all that gun rights’ supporters have fought for over the past 100 years.  If the Supreme Court sees the Second Amendment as an individual right, then our cause will have more leverage in the lifting of bans and other legislation that have reduced our ability to exercise our God given rights to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”.  In the unlikely event that the Court sees it as a collective right, then the fight will continue on as before with pro-gun organizations digging in for more debates and battles in the media, courtrooms and legislative arenas.  more

 

CHAIRMAN'S NOTES - Lots of very nice guns. That’s a great way to start off a fundraiser to promote firearm safety, youth programs, women’s programs and much more. That is what 300+ attendees saw upon entering the ballroom of the Joliet Renaissance Center, where the Three Rivers Friends of NRA held their annual dinner & fundraiser on Sunday March 30th. more

 

Resolution - Included with this newsletter (& last month's as well), is a sample copy of the Pro Second Amendment Resolution that you've been hearing so much about. Our members are being encouraged to contact their County Board members and voice their support of this proposed Resolution. more
