THIS MONTH...
This month, we are pleased to welcome Bruce Siddle,
founder of PPCT Management Systems, Inc. and Homeland Security Corporation,
as our speaker. He is best known as an internationally recognized expert in
the study of combat human factors, use of force and counter-terrorism
training. This is sure to be an interesting and informative evening. As
always, we hope to see you there and don't forget to bring a friend!
Will County ISRA member, Blaine D. Vorgang of Plainfield, was the name
drawn for the WCGR Gun Giveaway last month. Unfortunately, Blaine 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.
 The
U. S. Constitution -
Before the end of
the Revolutionary War, the thirteen States agreed to a series of
resolutions called the Articles of Confederation. This gave each state
certain powers and also established a way to provide “a firm league of
friendship with each other”. Their intentions were to support each other
and form a new nation. It was not going to be easy, though. Once England
agreed to our independence, we quickly found out the importance of
England’s influence. No longer were we to have the ability to negotiate
treaties, tariffs or protective agreements with other nations. The United
States had neither influence nor status with the other world powers.

CHAIRMAN'S NOTES
-
As the time approached for
my third trip to Front Sight (a firearms training facility just outside of
Las Vegas), the thought of shooting an M16 for four solid days was top on
my mind. I was looking forward to another great opportunity to gain even
more instruction on how to shoot quickly and accurately. I had been to
Front Sight twice before and had taken the four-day defensive handgun
course, along with the one-day course that allowed me to get a concealed
carry permit that is recognized in most states (except, of course,
Illinois).
