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.

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.”

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:

The Will County
Grassroots appreciates Gary taking the time to introduce us to this
discipline.
