Sharing this with my friends. Guns Save Life is featured in a video story at The Atlantic this afternoon. The video does a pretty fair job capturing the "family" of Guns Save Life, the fun and fellowship we enjoy in our activities. Take a look. Given it was done by the mainstream...

Introduction by John Boch (Guns Save Life) - Senator Trotter made a mistake forgetting about a gun in his carry-on. Yeah, he gamed the system a little bit. The gun in his carry-on was an oversight that frankly, could happen to any of us. But Anita Alvarez let him sit in the can for...

Yeah, when I saw this at first I thought it was a classic gotcha. Digging a little deeper I found a different story. It is by the grace of God that this doesn't happen to any one of us who are around guns all the time. The gun, aside from Chicago's local prohibitions on handguns, was...

Activism pays off! Quinn's gun ban bill rebuked in Illinois Senate (Guns Save Life) - Illinois Governor Pat “Clueless” Quinn was resoundingly rebuked by a 49-4 vote yesterday as the Senate over-rode the governor’s earlier amendatory veto of SB 681. The common sense gun bill originally had...

Tom, Fabulous job! http://www.gunssavelife.com/?p=3467 Late last week, WWP announced their executive director would appear on Gresham’s show to clarify the WWP position, in addition to offering some weaselese language that they respected everyone’s right to their rights to gun...

What did he shoot and what did he consider a stoppage? It's linked at the Guns Save Life link. Or, for the lazy: http://gunnuts.net/2012/10/11/the-hi-point-challenge-completed/

by John Boch (Guns Save Life) - Tim over at GunNuts Media has been reporting on his progress shooting his Hi-Point C9 and putting 2000 rounds through it, a few hundred at a time over the past few weeks. He completed his project. In the end, he ran nearly 2200 rounds through it. He kept...

Seems the Democratics (their word, not mine) in Illinois have come out at the state level and are attacking gun owners with mailings suggesting we're a danger to our communities. Fear and apprehension is apparently the best some of them have, as most don't want to campaign on the tax hike and...

I agree with the poster above. And ultimately it is a CYA. The article we wrote tries to put down some of the wild rumors we heard. "They are recording ammo purchases because they sell AR-15s. It's a new law in IL" is how one member reported it to us. "And they make you sign something...

From Guns Save Life... Dick’s Sporting Goods new ammo purchase policy clarified… Excerpt: Mr. Eades said that the company had recently changed policy, chain-wide, and was now asking purchasers of ammunition to verify they are U.S. citizens before allowing them to complete ammunition...

So why not take them to a gun shop if they are valuable, as opposed to getting low-balled by a church?

Oops. Missed that one. Boltac? No, I didn't read that as a bolt action.

Guns Save Life sent FOIA bombs to local police agencies seeking lists of the guns turned in at the August 4th gun buyback in Champaign, IL. While we'd never even hope to get a similar list from Chicago for their buyback, this local list does reaffirm our earlier experiences about the nature...

http://www.gunssavelife.com/?p=881 In short, McLean County State's Attorney has called Illinois' prohibition on right-to-carry unconstitutional and he's not going to prosecute FOID-card holding gunowners for merely exercising their rights under Heller and McDonald. Governor and AG are...

Last 10. Air rifle! This young man looks at an Olympic-level airgun used by Coach Miller's team at ISU. Coach Joe Miller looks over targets (and recruits for a new air rifle team he's starting in Central Illinois). "Where better a place to recruit?" he asked me with a grin and a wink...

More junior staff. This is Logan, one of the hard working junior staff who kept us in water, targets, ammo, and all of the other support stuff needed to keep us teaching and not chasing down logistical stuff. Many thanks to a hard-working group of teens. Archery! Good times to be...

More! Very pleased young ladies. And a happy young man! A ten-year-old young lady tries her hand at a G19. The kids loved us. Two of my fellow GSL Defense Training instructors - and close friends - Bob and Steve. Two more: Kay and Bonnie...

Here are some photos from the NRA Youth Shooting Camp sponsored, in part, by the kind do-gooders in Chicago who gave Guns Save Life a stack of $100 pre-paid VISA cards in exchange for some rusty junk. I haven't finished editing the write up, but here are some photos... A small sample...

Bathtubs make great photo studios with good lighting and good equipment. Outdoors, you can shoot on a deck or against foliage. Ideally, if you can use a shallow depth of field and "fuzz out" the background, it will make for better pictures. Or, you can just shoot on a plain...
