NRA to Sue Cities Over Handgun Bans - People from Chicago, Evanston, Morton Grove, Oak Park, and Wilmette Needed!

The NRA is planning to bring Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms lawsuits against cities in Cook County, Illinois, that have handgun bans.

Take A Friend Shooting for the First Time

There are a lot of misperceptions, bias, and misinformation out there about guns.  This can make even reasonable and intelligent people, who don’t have first hand experience with guns, believe that guns are somehow evil or are the cause of crime.   One great way to dispel these myths and let your anti-gun friends decide for themselves is to take them to shooting range.  My girlfriend and I recently did that just that, with a co-worker of mine and his wife.  Below are suggestions I have on how to make such an outing to the shooting range a success, along with our experience.
